That was probably a terrible title.
I have required after tax revenue and the expected effective tax rate, I need to know how to calculate the gross revenue required to meet the after tax revenue when the tax rate is factored.
Example
I need 100K in revenue to pay all company expenses. The tax rate of the company is going to be 20%. How do I figure out how much revenue I must have, in order to have 100K after 20% is taken out.
Or more specifically, how do I express that in an Excel formula.
Sounds like a gross margin calculation. Here's a utility I give to my staff, for you the 3rd section should be relevant. Hope this helps
I think the problem is with your maths, though your Title is incorrect (despite giving a reasonable indication of your requirement!)
Using X
as your unknown, Y
as % (expressed as a decimal, so 20% is 0.2) and Z
as the outcome (100) you could use Solver, as shown:
But this is overkill for what is solvable with a formula. The relationship can be expressed as:
X
– X
* Y
= Z
and that can be rearranged as below:
X(1-Y)=Z
X=Z/(1-Y)
With the values in your example:
X=100/(1-0.2)
X=100/0.8
So with Y
and Z
in the cells as shown in blue, X
may be derived with =C4/(1-B4)
(shown in A4).
