If you're not sure what to enter for monthly revenue, start with this:
This works for most small service and product businesses. You don't need accounting software or a bookkeeper to get started. Once you have a revenue figure, compare it against your monthly business expenses to understand your current margin.
Use a 3-month average. Add your revenue from the last 3 months and divide by 3. This smooths out seasonal swings and gives you a realistic baseline.
If you're pre-revenue or just starting out, use your best projected number. The calculator will still help you understand the margin you need. If you're unsure how much the new hire will cost, see how to estimate salary cost.
You don't need exact figures to use this tool. A reasonable estimate is enough to see whether hiring is a clear yes, a close call, or too early. You can always come back and adjust your numbers.
Once you have a rough number, plug it into the calculator to see if hiring is safe.
