Polishing the MRR Calculator tool

Today I stepped back a little from the heavy design work, partly because my laptop screen is still broken and I haven’t had the chance to take it in for repair. I’m really a laptop-only person; monitors never feel flexible or intimate enough for me to play around with ideas. So without my usual setup, I didn’t want to force myself into design tasks.

Instead, I focused on something lighter and more analytical: the MRR Calculator tool I had been experimenting with.

I polished it, fixed the rough edges, and now it’s a clean little simulator for:

• breaking down monthly revenue goals
• testing different scenarios
• understanding how many pro plans, digital products, or purchases we’d need
• adjusting tax rates, platform fees, and expense ratios

It’s surprisingly grounding to see numbers laid out like this — helpful for us as a team, but also a nice companion tool for solo or indie makers trying to understand their financial runway.
