Annual run rate = period revenue ÷ months × 12. It assumes the recent pace continues for a full year.
How to use it
Enter the revenue you booked over a recent period and how many months it covered. The result annualises it — a simple projection of your yearly revenue if the current pace holds.
Run rate is useful for young or fast-changing businesses where last year's total says little about now. Treat it as a snapshot: if your revenue is seasonal or lumpy, a single quarter can flatter or understate the year.

Frequently asked questions
Is run rate the same as a forecast?
No — it's a straight-line projection that assumes nothing changes. A real forecast accounts for seasonality, your pipeline and known one-offs. Run rate is a fast sense-check, not a plan.
What period should I use?
Use the most recent period that reflects your normal trading — usually a month or quarter. Avoid periods with big one-off orders or unusually quiet spells, or annualising them will mislead.
Is this a quote?
No — it's a free illustration. Your actual Credit Corp offer depends on an assessment of your company.
