Know Your Numbers Before You Scale
Most contractors know how much they charge per job but can't tell you their annual revenue off the top of their head. This calculator makes it simple.
Forecast Your Growth
See how adding one more crew or picking up one extra job per week impacts your annual revenue. Small changes compound fast.
Revenue per Worker
Know how much revenue each crew member generates. This tells you whether it's time to hire — or time to get more efficient.
Hit Your Break-Even
See exactly how many jobs per month you need just to cover overhead — before you pay your crew or take home a dime.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much revenue should a contracting company generate?
It varies hugely by trade, crew size, and market. A solo roofer might generate $200K–$400K/year. A roofing company with 2–3 crews can hit $1M–$3M. The key isn't just revenue — it's knowing your costs so you keep a healthy margin on every job.
What's a good revenue-per-worker number?
In construction trades, $100K–$200K in revenue per field worker is a common benchmark. If you're below $100K per worker, you may be underpricing jobs or running inefficient crews. Above $200K typically means your crew is productive and your pricing is strong.
How do I grow revenue without adding more crews?
Three levers: raise your prices, complete jobs faster (so you can take on more work), or reduce downtime between jobs. Tracking piece work helps with all three — you see exactly how productive each crew is and can identify where you're leaving money on the table.
Revenue vs. profit — why does it matter?
Revenue is what comes in the door. Profit is what you keep after paying your crew, materials, and overhead. A company doing $2M in revenue with a 5% margin keeps $100K. A company doing $1M with a 20% margin keeps $200K. Always track both numbers.
