  Note: 
  (i) You can enter the number of months to calculate the cost and revenue for the opportunity in “Calculate total for # months”
  
  (ii) Calculation of Totals and Margin:

  Total Revenue = One time revenue 

  + (Weekly revenue * 4 * Number months to calculate totals) 

  + (Monthly revenue * Number months to calculate totals) 

  + (Quarterly revenue/3 * Number months to calculate totals) 

  + (Half-yearly revenue/6 * Number months to calculate totals) 

  + (Yearly revenue/12 * Number months to calculate totals)

  Total Cost = One time cost 

  + (Weekly cost * 4 * Number months to calculate totals) 

  + (Monthly cost * Number months to calculate totals) 

  + (Quarterly cost/3 * Number months to calculate totals) 

  + (Half-yearly cost/6 * Number months to calculate totals) 

  + (Yearly cost/12 * Number months to calculate totals)
  
  

  Margin  Value = Total revenue - Total Cost 
  Margin  Percentage = (Total revenue - Total Cost) / Total revenue
  
  Total Revenue: 1000 + (100 * 4 * 6) + (500 * 6) + (1000/3 *  6) + (5000/6 * 6) + (10000/12 * 6) = 18400
  
  Total Cost: 800 + (80 * 4 * 6) + (400 * 6) + (800/3 *  6) + (4000/6 * 6) + (8000/12 * 6) = 14720
  Margin Value: 18400 - 14720 = 3680
  Margin percentage: 3680 / 18400 = 20%
