Odds of reaching each MRR level by month 24
| MRR by month 24 | ~15 hrs/week | Full-time |
|---|---|---|
| $1k | Reaching $1k MRR by month 24 at about 15 hours a week: ≈ 55 in 100 (55%, judgment estimate). | Reaching $1k MRR by month 24 at full-time: ≈ 70 in 100 (70%, judgment estimate). |
| $3k | Reaching $3k MRR by month 24 at about 15 hours a week: ≈ 38 in 100 (38%, judgment estimate). | Reaching $3k MRR by month 24 at full-time: ≈ 52 in 100 (52%, judgment estimate). |
| $5k | Reaching $5k MRR by month 24 at about 15 hours a week: ≈ 28 in 100 (28%, judgment estimate). | Reaching $5k MRR by month 24 at full-time: ≈ 42 in 100 (42%, judgment estimate). |
| $10k | Reaching $10k MRR by month 24 at about 15 hours a week: ≈ 15 in 100 (15%, judgment estimate). | Reaching $10k MRR by month 24 at full-time: ≈ 26 in 100 (26%, judgment estimate). |
| $20k | Reaching $20k MRR by month 24 at about 15 hours a week: ≈ 7 in 100 (7%, judgment estimate). | Reaching $20k MRR by month 24 at full-time: ≈ 14 in 100 (14%, judgment estimate). |
| $50k | Reaching $50k MRR by month 24 at about 15 hours a week: ≈ 2 in 100 (2%, judgment estimate). | Reaching $50k MRR by month 24 at full-time: ≈ 4 in 100 (4%, judgment estimate). |
For context: across 10,150 products listing verified revenue on TrustMRR, the median makes about $30 a month and about 5% make more than $8k (analysis, Sept 2026). The odds above assume the founder conditions below are met and the narrowed version is built, so they sit well above that all-comers rate. Why.
How many months at the plan’s pace
At $80/month per customer and 2% monthly churn, adding the customers the plan needs for its month-24 checkpoint. Change any of it in the what-if model.
| MRR | ~15 hrs/week | Full-time |
|---|---|---|
| $1k | 3 mo | 2 mo |
| $3k | 9 mo | 5 mo |
| $5k | 16 mo | 8 mo |
| $10k | 3 yr 3 mo | 18 mo |
| $20k | not reached | 3 yr 8 mo |
| $50k | not reached | not reached |
This works only if you…
1. You can ship and support a Forge app yourself(missing it: odds × 0.65)
TypeScript, React (Custom UI or UI Kit), Jira REST APIs and Forge storage. If you have to hire the build, the odds drop and the timeline slips by a quarter.
2. Direct access to 15 buyers before building(missing it: odds × 0.65)
Jira admins, engineering managers or compliance leads at companies that go through SOC 2, ISO 27001 or SOX audits. You need to talk to them in the first 3 weeks. Ideally you've prepared Jira evidence for an audit yourself.
3. A steady cadence for 24 months(missing it: odds × 0.65)
a fixed number of hours per week available, with support replies within one business day and a release at least monthly. Marketplace reviews and response times decide ranking, and a quiet app sinks.
