  • Key Numbers 101 Series – Key # 3 Expenses

    Posted by Site Administrator on September 20, 2016 at 12:24 pm

    This series includes 24 Key Numbers. If you work on getting all of them in the ranges mentioned, your shop should be solidly profitable.

    Key Numbers 101 Series – Key # 3 Expenses

    For this key number we want to know what percent of total sales is spent on expenses.

    Last month Acme Auto had total sales of $50,000

    Total spending for expenses was $14,000

    $14,000 ÷ $50,000 = 0.28

    So our key number is 28%

    When looking at this number for a typical independent shop which is solidly profitable, this number will normally run between 24% and 30%.

    There is a fill in the blank form for this number in our Business Calculators area available to Premium Members.

    Definitions

    Expenses: All spending of all types except payroll, parts, sublet and tires.

    Total sales: Includes all parts, shop supplies, labor, sublet and tires.
