Revenue Per Job

Revenue per Job

Are you charging enough per job — or leaving money on the table?

This metric shows the average revenue generated per completed job across all company sizes. It helps you understand whether your pricing strategy and service delivery are aligned with industry norms.

Recurring Customer Churn per Month

Recurring Customer Churn

Are your customers staying loyal — or quietly slipping away each month?

This reflects the monthly percentage of recurring customers lost. It’s a key indicator of retention, customer satisfaction, and long-term revenue stability.

Technician Pay Rate per Clock Hour

Technician Pay Rate per Clock Hour

Are you paying your techs enough to attract and keep talent — without overpaying for productivity?

This shows how much technicians are paid, on average, per hour they’re clocked in — including paid but non-job time. It reflects your competitiveness in attracting and retaining labor.

Direct Payroll to Revenue

Direct Payroll to Revenue

Are you balancing technician wages with profitability — or letting payroll costs eat into your margins?

This shows how much of your revenue is spent on direct technician wages. It’s a core profitability driver for labor-intensive service businesses like residential cleaning.

Revenue per Job Hour

Revenue per Job Hour

Are your teams earning enough per hour — or are inefficient jobs dragging you down?

This shows the average revenue earned for each hour worked on a job. It’s a combined measure of pricing, job efficiency, and quoting accuracy.

Technician Turnover per Year

Technician Turnover Per Year

Is your business a place technicians want to stay — or just a stepping stone?

This metric tracks the annual rate at which cleaning technicians leave your company. High turnover can signal deeper issues with training, compensation, culture, or leadership — and it drives up hiring and onboarding costs.
