## Formula

Velocity = (opportunities × average deal size × win rate) ÷ sales cycle length in days.

- Methodology: the common four-factor sales velocity equation; it follows practice, not a standards body.
- All four inputs should be measured over the same period and segment.
- It is a rate of expected revenue, not a forecast of a specific period.
- Velocity = (opportunities × average deal size × win rate) ÷ sales cycle length in days.
- Inputs used: Currency (symbol only, never converted), Qualified opportunities in pipeline, Average deal size, Win rate (your measured rate), Average sales cycle.

## Inputs

- Currency (symbol only, never converted)
- Qualified opportunities in pipeline
- Average deal size
- Win rate (your measured rate)
- Average sales cycle

## Worked example: A mid-market team

50 opportunities, $20,000 average, 25% win rate, 60-day cycle.
1. 50 × 20,000 × 0.25 = $250,000.
2. 250,000 ÷ 60 = $4,166.67 per day.

## Common questions

### How do I raise velocity?

More qualified opportunities, larger deals, a higher win rate or a shorter cycle — each moves the result proportionally. Check the formula, example, and limitations on this page before using the result for a real sales decision.

### Is it a forecast?

No — it is an average rate. Use the sales forecast calculator for a period forecast.

### Is there a good benchmark?

Benchmarks vary widely by market, deal size and sales motion. This page shows only your own figure and does not judge it.

### How do I use the Sales Velocity Calculator?

Enter the required values for Currency (symbol only, never converted), Qualified opportunities in pipeline, Average deal size, Win rate (your measured rate), Average sales cycle. The calculator applies the formula on this page and shows the main result with any supporting breakdown so you can check the arithmetic.

### What formula does the Sales Velocity Calculator use?

Velocity = (opportunities × average deal size × win rate) ÷ sales cycle length in days. The visible formula section above lists the calculation path and the edge cases the page handles, so the result can be checked without relying on the form alone.

### Can the Sales Velocity Calculator be used for exact decisions?

Use it as a calculation aid, not as a substitute for checking the underlying rule, contract, policy, or professional advice that applies to your situation. When a result depends on local rules, personal details, prices, or dates, enter those values yourself and confirm them before acting.

## Limitations and assumptions

- Average-based; ignores deal mix.
- Common practice, not a standard.
- Results are educational estimates built only from the figures you enter. They are not personalised investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Rates, growth and discount assumptions are always yours to choose.
- The result depends on the values you enter for this sales velocity calculator; it does not supply missing rates, rules, prices, dates, or assumptions for you.
