Companies are ranked according to the percentage growth of their annual revenue over a three-year period. To assess this, we ask for your base year and recent year revenue figures. This gives us a three-year growth period. For the 2023 Inc. 5000, the base year is 2019 and the recent year is 2022.
The equation for growth percentage is:
[(Recent year revenue - base year revenue) / base year revenue] x 100 = total growth percentage
For example, if 2019 revenue was $3 million and 2022 revenue is $15 million:
$15 million - $3 million = $12 million
12,000,000 / 3,000,000 = 4
4 x 100 = 400
In the above example, the growth rate is 400 percent.
