Lawn Care Profit Calculator – Measure Your Business Success

Running a lawn care business involves balancing revenues and expenses to ensure profitability. Knowing exactly how much profit you make from each job (or over a period of time) is critical for pricing, growth, and financial planning.

The Lawn Care Profit Calculator helps you quickly determine your total expenses, net profit, and profit margin (%) so you can see how well your business is performing.

Formula for Total Expenses

Add up all the costs associated with your lawn care service:

$\text{Total Expenses}=\text{Labor Costs}+\text{Material Costs}+\text{Equipment Costs}+\text{Other Expenses}$

Formula for Net Profit

Once you know your expenses, subtract them from your total revenue:

$\text{Net Profit}=\text{Total Revenue}-\text{Total Expenses}$

Formula for Profit Margin (%)

Profit margin shows how much of your revenue remains as profit after expenses:

$\text{Profit Margin ( \%)}=\left(\frac{\text{Net Profit}}{\text{Total Revenue}}\right)\times 100$

Step-by-Step Process

1. Enter your Total Revenue (income from lawn care jobs).
2. Enter Labor Costs, Material Costs, Equipment Costs, and Other Expenses.
3. Calculate Total Expenses.
4. Subtract expenses from revenue to find Net Profit.
5. Divide net profit by total revenue and multiply by 100 to get the Profit Margin (%).

Example

Suppose:

• Total Revenue = $5,000
• Labor Costs = $2,000
• Material Costs = $500
• Equipment Costs = $800
• Other Expenses = $200

Step 1: Calculate Total Expenses

$\text{Total Expenses}=2,000+500+800+200=3,500$

Step 2: Calculate Net Profit

$\text{Net Profit}=5,000-3,500=1,500$

Step 3: Calculate Profit Margin (%)

$\text{Profit Margin (\%)}=\left(\frac{1,500}{5,000}\right)\times 100=30\%$

👉 Result: Your Net Profit is $1,500, and your Profit Margin is 30%.
