Projects revenue forward from a Year 1 base at a constant annual growth rate, applies a gross margin to get gross profit, grows fixed costs at their own rate, and taxes the resulting operating profit at your corporation tax rate. The three years of net profit are then summed and compared against any upfront investment to check payback.
£100,000 Year 1 revenue growing 20% a year at 50% gross margin, with £30,000 fixed costs growing 5% a year and a £20,000 initial investment: Year 3 revenue reaches £144,000 with cumulative net profit comfortably covering the investment.
Enter your Year 1 revenue and expected annual revenue growth rate.
Set your gross margin and fixed costs for Year 1, plus how fast fixed costs grow.
Add any initial investment you want the plan to pay back, and your corporation tax rate.
Read the 3-year revenue, net profit and operating margin, and whether payback is achieved.

Yes — operating profit each year is taxed at the rate you enter (19% default) before arriving at net profit, so the payback check is on an after-tax basis.
The model floors tax at zero when operating profit is negative, so a loss-making year contributes zero tax and a negative net profit to the cumulative total.
