For finance & RevOps

Know what the year costs before it happens.

Comp is usually the biggest line in the sales budget and the last one anyone can forecast. Incentives.guru runs the forecast on the same engine that pays reps, so the number you plan to is the number that gets paid.

Pipeline forecaster

Pick what closes. See what it pays.

The open pipeline, straight from Salesforce, with the payout each stage adds on top of what is booked today. Close, slip or drop deals with a probability and a month, or use the one-click views: commit, best case, everything closes, expected value.

The bottom-up forecast panel: the open pipeline by stage, close controls, and a payout-by-stage waterfall from booked today to everything closes.
Bottom-up forecast on the demo book: $8.27M booked today, the pipeline adds $346K if everything closes, stage by stage.
Budget band

A P50 to plan to and a P90 to cap the budget.

Monte Carlo mode samples which pipeline deals close at their stage probabilities and prices the whole year for each sampled world. You get a distribution, not a point estimate: plan to the P50, set the accrual ceiling at the P90.

  • ✓ Every sampled world is a full engine run, not a spreadsheet multiplier
  • ✓ Stage probabilities come from your own CRM data
  • ✓ Pair it with a top-down "finish at 115%" projection in the same scenario
Budget band chart: comp spend across percentiles of sampled worlds with P50 and P90 marked.
P50 $8.54M to plan to, P90 $8.59M as the budget ceiling.
Cost of sales

Every scenario reports what it does to cost of sales.

Extra cost, cost of sales today versus proposed, reps paid more, reps paid less, and the per-rep scatter that shows who moves. The denominator is booked revenue counted once per deal, so a growth assumption cannot flatter the ratio.

Scenario results: cost today, cost proposed, extra cost, cost of sales today and proposed, reps paid more and less, plus cost by component and a per-rep scatter.
Results measured against the live plan. Cost of sales 12.0% today, 12.3% if the pipeline closes.
Attainment distribution: where reps stand on the curve and how much money moves at each band.
Where the reps stand, and what a change does at each point on the curve.
Plan design

See the curve before you change it.

Every scenario forks the entire data set into an isolated copy in well under a second, runs on it, and leaves production untouched. Then it shows you where the money moved on the attainment curve, band by band, so a cliff at 80% is visible before a rep finds it.

  • ✓ Rate tables, quotas, kickers, crediting and roster changes, all as scenarios
  • ✓ Growth assumptions and roster moves compound in one run
  • ✓ Promote the winner to production when the numbers hold
Why the number holds

Forecast and payroll are the same calculation.

🧮

One engine

The forecast is not a model of the plan. It is the plan, run on different inputs. No reconciliation between what finance modeled and what comp ops paid.

Every dollar traces

Click any number back to the deals, crediting rules and rate table that produced it. Auditors like it. So do reps.
