Required average monthly revenue
Using the calculator
Enter pretax annual owner income you want in addition to any owner pay already included in your fixed or variable costs. The model combines that target with whole-business monthly fixed costs and the entered contribution margin.
Its headline is the monthly revenue required for that scenario. It does not start from a monthly revenue goal or calculate lead volume, close rate, or crew count.
The model uses entered average job value to show a whole monthly job target. The optional daily average divides modeled monthly jobs across entered trucks and available workdays per truck.
Open advanced inputs to change truck count or available workdays. These two inputs change the daily average, not the required monthly revenue.
Monthly fixed costs represent the whole business across the entered trucks. The contribution margin should cover variable job costs once, without counting any fixed amount again.
If the target is total owner income rather than additional income, first account for owner pay already included in the costs. The calculator does not make that adjustment automatically.
The model warns when average jobs per available workday per truck exceed its illustrative review threshold. This does not establish actual route, crew, or vehicle capacity.
Use your own duration, travel, disposal, and booked-work records to decide whether the monthly target is workable.

Yes. Enter the pretax amount you want on top of any owner pay already included in the fixed or variable costs used here.
No. Truck count and available workdays change only the optional jobs-per-day-per-truck average. Keep whole-business fixed costs current if your fleet changes.
No. It models required revenue and job volume from the entered income, cost, ticket, and contribution-margin scenario.
The displayed whole-job target rounds up so that a fraction of a job is not treated as a completed monthly job.
