Benchmarks for
Based on annual revenue of
Industry benchmarks are based on IRS SOI data, NAICS industry studies, and RMA Annual Statement Studies. Ranges reflect typical performance for small businesses under $10M in revenue.
Cost of Goods Sold
The direct costs to deliver your product or service — materials, labor, subcontractors. Keeping COGS in range protects your gross margin.
Gross Profit Margin
Revenue minus COGS. This is what you have left to cover overhead and generate profit. Below-range gross margin is the #1 silent killer of small business cash flow.
Operating Expenses
Rent, payroll, marketing, insurance, admin. These are the fixed and semi-fixed costs that run whether you're busy or not. Lean OpEx means more cash survives to profit.
Net Profit Margin
What actually stays in the business after all expenses. Many owners are shocked by how thin this number is — and how controllable it actually is with the right system.
