Year 3 income (estimate), base case: £814,000

Light blue shows income, grey shows costs and dark blue shows profit. Each point is one month, from month 1 to month 36. Year 3 income adds up months 25 to 36. The labels at month 36 are that month's income, costs and profit. The £ amounts are estimates to help you plan. They aren't a promise of what you'll earn. Where an estimate would be below zero, we show £0.
