Calculate potential returns from investing in Servala platform
This ROI calculator models your investment in the Servala platform by simulating cloud service provider (CSP) business growth over time. Choose between lending to Servala (guaranteed returns) or direct platform investment (higher potential returns based on your sales performance).
Investment Model: Loan to Servala (fixed returns) vs Direct Investment (performance-based returns).
Investment Amount: Your capital provided to Servala for platform development and infrastructure.
Monthly Revenue per Instance: The recurring revenue generated from each managed service instance (excl. compute).
Servala Revenue Share: Percentage of revenue shared with Servala after the grace period (Direct Investment only).
Grace Period: Initial months where you keep 100% of revenue before sharing begins with Servala (Direct Investment only).
Loan Interest Rate: Annual interest rate on loan to Servala (Loan Model only).
Loan Model: Lend to Servala at fixed interest rate. Lower risk, guaranteed returns, but limited upside.
Direct Investment: Invest directly in platform operations. Higher risk, but unlimited upside based on your sales performance during grace period and beyond.
Conservative: Steady growth with low churn (2%), suitable for established markets.
Moderate: Balanced growth with moderate churn (3%), typical for competitive markets.
Aggressive: Rapid expansion with higher churn (5%), for high-growth strategies.
Each scenario has 4 growth phases with customizable instance acquisition rates in Advanced Parameters.
ROI: Return on Investment as a percentage of your initial investment.
Break-even: Month when cumulative revenue equals your initial investment.
Churn: Monthly percentage of instances that stop generating revenue (customer loss).
Grace Period Advantage: Direct Investment model benefits significantly from aggressive sales during grace period (100% revenue retention).
How Investment Amount Affects Growth
Higher investments enable better growth through increased marketing, infrastructure, and customer success capabilities. This affects instance acquisition rates and reduces churn.
Mathematical Impact
Example: CHF 1M investment = 1.41× more instances + 25% lower churn than CHF 500K base.
