Electrical Average Ticket Calculator
Track revenue per completed electrical job and test a proposed change in the average invoice.
Result
Raising the average ticket costs nothing in extra marketing, which is what makes it the cheapest growth available. It is also the easiest number to damage by selling work people did not need, and that is a short road.

- Revenue and completed-job count must cover the same reporting period.
- Use a consistent treatment of credits and cancelled work.
- Installation-heavy months can change the average without changing service-call pricing.
Where this one goes wrong
A higher average ticket may simply reflect fewer small jobs. Check work mix, customer suitability and gross profit before interpreting the result as better selling. Necessary repairs should drive recommendations, not a target invoice amount.
Questions
About this calculator
Should deposits be included before the job is complete?
Avoid combining advance cash with a completed-job denominator. Use a consistent revenue basis so the average describes what each completed job actually earned.
Why does one large project distort the figure?
The calculation divides total revenue by jobs, so every job receives equal weight in the count. Review service and project work separately to understand the shift.
Is the annual uplift a guaranteed sales gain?
No. It extends the entered period and increase assumption. Confirm the monthly basis and consider whether customer acceptance or job volume would change.
The formula
average ticket = revenue / jobs completed

A worked example
These are the figures the calculator opens with. Every number in the results column below is produced by the same calculation the page runs, so you can follow it through before putting your own figures in.
What goes in
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Revenue for the period | $34,500 |
| Jobs completed | 64 |
| Increase you want to test | $60 |
What comes out
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Average ticket main result | $539.06 |
| With the increase | $599.06 |
| Extra per month | $3,840 |
| Extra per year | $46,080 |
Your average ticket is $539.06. Adding $60 to it is worth $46,080 a year on the same number of jobs.
How sensitive the answer is
Holding everything else steady and changing only revenue for the period, this is what happens to average ticket. It is worth knowing which of your inputs the answer actually hinges on, and which barely move it.
| Revenue for the period ($) | Average ticket |
|---|---|
| $17,250 | $269.53 |
| $25,875 | $404.30 |
| $34,500 example above | $539.06 |
| $51,750 | $808.59 |
| $69,000 | $1,078 |
Every other input is held at the example value while this one changes, which is not how a real job behaves. Treat it as a guide to which number matters most, not as five separate quotes.

Before you rely on this number
Conductor sizing, voltage drop and load figures are governed by code, and the code takes precedence over any calculator. Ambient temperature, conduit fill, continuous load factors and the specific installation all change the answer. Treat this as a first pass, not a design.
Estimating is the easy part
The jobs you never hear about cost more than the ones you mis-measure. BDEVY builds the marketing, systems and automation that bring them in.
