How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your Annual Revenue and Number of Employees to get revenue per employee and monthly breakdown.
- Use the Compare tab to benchmark two companies or departments side by side.
- Use the Benchmark tab to see how you compare to tech, retail, and consulting industry averages.
- The Professional tab calculates FTE-adjusted RPE, profit per employee, labor cost per employee, and optimal hiring threshold.
Formula
Revenue per Employee = Annual Revenue ÷ Headcount | FTE = Full-Time + Part-Time × (Hours ÷ 40)
Example
$5M revenue ÷ 25 employees = $200,000/employee. Industry benchmark (tech $500K) → you are at 40% of tech average.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Revenue per employee = Annual Revenue ÷ Number of Employees. It measures how efficiently a company generates revenue relative to its workforce size.
- Tech/SaaS companies average $500K+, consulting firms $300–400K, manufacturing $250–400K, and retail $150–250K. High RPE typically indicates strong automation or high-value products.
- FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) adjusts part-time employees proportionally. A part-time worker at 20 hours/week = 0.5 FTE. Using FTE gives a more accurate productivity measure than headcount.
- Labor Efficiency Ratio = Revenue ÷ Total Labor Cost. A ratio of 2.5x means the company generates $2.50 in revenue for every $1.00 spent on labor.
- If adding one employee would reduce RPE significantly below your industry benchmark, reconsider the hire or ensure the new role will generate enough incremental revenue to maintain efficiency.
