How Marketing Budgets Are Estimated

Marketing budgets are often planned as a percentage of revenue to keep spending aligned with growth targets.

Multiply your monthly revenue goal by the budget percentage to estimate how much to spend each month. Annual budgets are the monthly estimate multiplied by 12.

Example: If your monthly revenue goal is $50,000 and your budget is 10%, your monthly budget is $5,000 and your annual budget is $60,000.

  • Higher growth targets usually need higher budgets.
  • Track ROI to adjust budget percentages over time.
  • Revisit budgets quarterly as revenue changes.

Simple formulas

Monthly budget Revenue x (Budget % / 100)
