I know most won't want to get too detailed on a public board, but I'm interested in how percentages of gross change as a company gets bigger.
I've always tried for the following, which has a low materials cost.
35% LABOR
15% MATERIALS
15% OVERHEAD
10 % SALES COMMISSIONS
5% MARKETING/ADVERTISING
10% COMPANY PROFIT
10% OWNERS PAY OR MANAGERS PAY
We all know everything has to go into one of those areas, unless you know how to get 110% for every job.
So, if you are grossing under $250,000 what are your percentages?
How about $250,000 to $500,000?
$500,000 to $1m?
$1m and up?
Dont have to give detailed numbers about your gross, just the range you are in, and then if you would, detailed % would be great.
I'll compile all the info and averages in a spreadsheet, and report my findings weekly as we add data.
