Mike Andes walks through the math for a lawn care crew's revenue. A 40-hour workweek at 75% efficiency gives you 30 budget hours. Target 55 budget hours per week and you hit roughly 220 per month, which at $70 per hour comes to $15,400 in labor revenue.

Questions this video answers

75% efficiency (example: 40 clocked hours → 30 budget hours).

About 220 budget hours per month (55 × 4).

$15,400 in labor revenue (220 × $70), excluding materials, estimate fees, and dump fees.

Someone might work 40 hours in the week, but only complete about 30 budget hours worth of work. That assumes about a 75% efficiency rating, which basically means about 25% of someone's day is wasted driving around, unloading or loading the truck.
So 40 clocked hours multiplied by a 75% efficiency score.
Equals 30 budget hours per week. Well, that's as much chalk as we have right now. So revenue is not going to have an easy day.
Okay, so if we get 55 budget.
Hours very conservatively.
Done each week, multiplied.
By four, that's.
About 220.
Budget hours on the schedule completed every single month. If we multiply that by $70 per hour, that's $15,400 in labor revenue. That does not include materials or estimate fees or dump fees. So it will end up being about.
$20,000 in revenue in July. That's the goal.
