BUSINESS PROFIT CHECKUP

Let's figure out what your business numbers are really saying.

Answer in plain English numbers. Best estimates are fine. Your personalized analysis appears immediately when you finish.

1. Your business + your goal

Business typeHow much do you want the business to pay YOU per year?About how much revenue does the business bring in per year now?How much do you currently generate per productive hour?For flat-rate work: job revenue minus major pass-through materials/subcontractors, divided by productive job hours. A best estimate is okay.

2. Where your time actually goes

Weeks you work per yearDays you work per weekHours you work in a normal dayHours per day that actually produce customer revenue

Driving, estimates, phone calls, material runs, paperwork, scheduling and callbacks are real work — but usually don't directly produce revenue.

3. What the business costs to run

Use monthly averages. Enter 0 when something doesn't apply.

Important: Productive-hour revenue is not automatically the hourly price you should quote customers. Materials, subcontractors, employees, job mix and pricing structure can change how revenue is produced. This is a planning analysis based on your entries, not accounting, tax, legal advice or a guarantee of market pricing.
