Sales Cycle Length Calculator

Add deal start and close dates to compute average sales cycle length, benchmark it against industry norms, and forecast when pipeline deals will close.

Add Closed Deal

Add at least one closed deal to see your average cycle length.

Summary

Add deal start and close dates to compute average sales cycle length, benchmark it against industry norms, and forecast when pipeline deals will close.

How it works

  1. Enter each closed deal's start date (first contact or opportunity creation) and close date.
  2. The tool calculates the length of each deal in days.
  3. Add as many deals as you need — the average updates automatically.
  4. Compare your average against the built-in B2B benchmarks for SMB, mid-market, and enterprise.
  5. Enter open pipeline deals with start dates to forecast expected close dates based on your average.

Use cases

  • Audit last quarter's closed deals to establish a baseline sales cycle.
  • Benchmark deal velocity against typical B2B sales timelines.
  • Forecast when current pipeline deals are likely to close for revenue planning.
  • Identify outlier deals that took far longer or shorter than average.
  • Set realistic close-date expectations for board or investor reporting.
  • Measure the impact of sales process changes on average cycle length over time.
