Adjust the operator variables, then read the live result panel.
Truck type changes the illustrative monthly vehicle allowance. An entered per-truck override replaces it; no costs transfer from another calculator.
Modeled annual cash remainder before owner withdrawals and taxes
Using the calculator
Enter projected annual revenue, contribution margin, truck count, loaded admin/office payroll, and monthly marketing. The headline is a modeled annual cash remainder before owner withdrawals and income taxes.
Use it to compare the same business with different revenue and listed cost scenarios.
Review the selected truck type and current monthly allowance per truck, plus rent, software, and other admin costs in advanced inputs. An entered truck or admin override replaces its respective illustrative allowance.
Contribution margin already includes variable crew and driving-owner costs. The separate payroll input is loaded admin/office pay, so count each cost once.
Read the cash remainder with the contribution, annual fleet allowance, and overhead summaries. A warning appears if listed cash uses exceed contribution or the remaining share is low under the model’s existing illustrative threshold.
The calculator does not test whether the entered fleet can deliver the projected revenue.
This is annual cash planning, not an accounting profit-and-loss statement. Vehicle cash allowances may include a payment or replacement reserve; depreciation, tax, interest separation, cash timing, and owner withdrawals are not calculated.
General liability and other business insurance need a nonoverlapping entered allowance if you want them included.
“Built ScaleYourJunk after identifying that junk removal operators were stuck using generic field service tools that didn't match their workflows. Every calculator on this site uses real industry data and operator-validated assumptions.”
It is the modeled annual cash remainder after the entered contribution margin and listed fixed cash uses, before owner withdrawals and income taxes.
Crew and driving-owner wages belong in the entered contribution margin. The annual payroll control is for loaded admin/office employer cost.
No values transfer automatically. Enter compatible costs manually and avoid counting crew costs again in admin payroll.
No. It is a cash planning scenario and does not separate interest from principal, calculate depreciation or tax, or model cash timing.
