Pick the take-home you want to clear, add your overhead and what a typical job runs, and see the revenue and number of jobs it takes to get there this month. Run your year on purpose instead of hoping it adds up.

That is about

Revenue you need

Gross profit to cover ittake-home + overhead

Hit this and you cover overhead and pay yourself the target. The job calculator helps you price each one to protect that margin, which is what makes this math hold up.

How the plan is figured

Three steps, all from your numbers.

Gross profit needed = take-home + overhead. $8,000 + $9,000 = $17,000
Revenue needed = gross profit needed ÷ gross margin. $17,000 ÷ 0.50 = $34,000
Jobs needed = revenue needed ÷ average job. $34,000 ÷ $1,500 = 23 jobs
Per week is the monthly jobs divided by 4.33 weeks.
