Monte Carlo Simulation Template

Stop planning off a single guess. Give each assumption a worst / likely / best range and run thousands of trials to see the full spread of outcomes — with P10, P50 and P90 so you can commit to a number you can defend.

Common questions

What does a Monte Carlo simulation actually tell me?

It replaces a single guessed number with a range, runs thousands of trials, and shows the distribution of outcomes — so instead of 'revenue will be £2m' you get 'there's an 80% chance it lands between £1.6m and £2.5m'.

What do P10, P50 and P90 mean?

They're percentiles of the simulated outcomes. P10 is the pessimistic case (only 10% of trials came in below it), P50 is the median, and P90 is the optimistic case. Planning to P50 and stress-testing against P10 is the usual approach.

How many trials do I need?

A few thousand is plenty for a business model — the distribution stabilises quickly. More trials mainly narrow the noise on the extreme tails, which are the least reliable part of the estimate anyway.

Model the full range of outcomes

Give your assumptions a range and see P10–P90 in seconds — no add-ins.
