Budgeting and Operational Costs

There is no denying that running a company costs money. As a business owner, you need to understand what it costs to operate your business and be able to budget accordingly. Depending on the size of your business, if you are starting out, or if you have been in business for years, your expenses will vary year to year (and sometimes month to month!)

This tool will help you plan and demonstrate your business sales and expenses assumptions over the course of one month. You can revisit and adjust your figures as your business grows and you need to adjust your plan.

Operational Costs (Expenses)

Each month you will incur any number of expenses depending on the type of business you have and where you are in setting up your business. You might have to pay for raw materials and supplies, office supplies, rent and utilities, internet expenses, and shipping. The following questions will guide you through which expenses you need to consider and account for as you determine your monthly operational costs.

If you do not have an expense in any of the following categories, please indicate ‘0’.


Estimate what you will spend on bookkeeping or accounting fees, and legal fees, each month. It is important to note some of these fees, such as legal fees, may only need to be accounted for once a year or periodically throughout the year. If this is a yearly cost for you, please divide by 12 and enter the monthly cost.
