Expected monthly revenue$2,362.50/month

Applied assumptions

  • 50 units × 0.15 entered jobs/unit/month = 7.5 expected jobs/month, a planning average rather than whole-job commitment.
  • $350.00 list price with 10% discount gives $315.00/job.
  • Expanded contribution uses 55% margin at list price, with modeled $157.50/job variable cost held fixed through the discount. Edit that margin in advanced inputs; overhead and demand changes are excluded.

Assumptions used (5)
  • 10% volume discount
  • 55% contribution margin on list price
  • Variable costs per completed job stay constant as price is discounted. List-price contribution must include crew pay, employer costs, fuel, disposal, and other variable fees once.
  • Expected monthly jobs may be fractional; they are a planning average, not a whole-job commitment. Annualized revenue is a run rate, not additional contract revenue.
  • Term contribution excludes overhead, extra service visits, collection delays, and changes in demand or costs.

Using the calculator

About the Commercial Contract Calculator

What this calculator helps you decide

Commercial work may provide repeat jobs, while discounts can reduce contribution per job. This calculator estimates monthly and entered-term revenue from unit count, your own expected jobs per unit each month, list job value, discount, and contract length.

Use the optional list-price contribution margin to inspect how a discount changes modeled contribution while variable cost per job stays fixed. The tool does not invent demand, contract minimums, or cash-collection timing.

Inputs to keep realistic

Enter the number of units or doors and a planning average for jobs per unit per month. That frequency is your assumption, not a measured or supplied demand rate.

Enter list job value, discount, and contract term. If you expand contribution details, review the list-price contribution margin and variable-cost basis before interpreting profit.

How to use the result

Read expected term revenue and monthly revenue first. Expected monthly jobs may be fractional because they are a planning average, not a whole-job commitment.

Open result details for term contribution, discounted price, and effective margin. Compare those values with your actual service cost, overhead, and account requirements before deciding on a contract price.

Estimate limits and local checks

The model holds variable cost per completed job constant as the entered list price is discounted. It does not include extra visits, overhead, collection delays, or changes in demand or costs.

Use completed-job records and the proposed contract scope to refine your inputs before relying on the scenario.

FAQ

What numbers should I use?

Enter the actual unit count, your own expected monthly jobs per unit, list job value, discount, and term. For expanded contribution, use a list-price contribution margin that reflects your variable job costs.

How should I act on the result?

Compare monthly and term revenue with the expanded contribution result and effective margin. A discount changes the price while modeled variable cost stays fixed, so check the contract against your own job records and overhead.

Are the calculator results exact quotes?

No. They are revenue and contribution planning scenarios for the entered term and job frequency. Demand, extra visits, collection timing, and overhead are not established by the result.

How often should I update the inputs?

Review the inputs whenever a major cost changes and at least once per quarter. Dump fees, fuel, labor, insurance, and lead costs can move enough to change your margin.
