Restoration
Restoration Revenue Calculator
Projects restoration revenue, where the source of the work matters more than the volume.
Result
Service lines rarely carry the same margin. Splitting them is the only way to see which part of the business is paying for the rest, which is frequently not the part that looks busiest.

Jobs per month times average value gives monthly revenue, scaled to annual with gross profit applied. The input worth more attention than either is where the jobs come from. Restoration work arrives through insurer programmes and third party administrators, through plumbers and property managers who refer, and directly from homeowners, and those three channels differ in volume, in margin and in how much control the contractor has over scope and pricing.
What moves the number
- Channel mix between programme work, referral and direct.
- Average job value, which varies by an order of magnitude across loss types.
- Seasonality and weather events, which make monthly figures unreliable.
- Whether reconstruction follows mitigation on the same jobs.
Where this one goes wrong
Programme work brings volume and brings constraints: pricing is set, scope is reviewed closely, performance is measured, and the relationship can be ended. A business built entirely on one programme has a single point of failure that is outside its control, which is why operators who depend on it are advised to build referral and direct channels alongside. The related opportunity is capture: a company that does mitigation and hands the reconstruction to someone else has given away the larger half of the revenue on jobs it already won, and capturing it is usually the biggest available growth without finding new work.
Before you quote
- Track revenue by channel, not just in total.
- Assess concentration risk if one programme dominates.
- Measure what share of mitigation jobs convert to reconstruction.
Questions
About this calculator
Where does restoration work come from?
Insurer programmes and third party administrators, referrals from plumbers and property managers, and direct homeowner calls. Those channels differ in volume, margin and how much control you have over scope and price, so tracking revenue by channel tells you more than the total does.
Is programme work worth it?
It brings reliable volume and it comes with set pricing, close scope review, performance measurement and the risk of the relationship ending. A business entirely dependent on one programme has a single point of failure outside its control, which is why building other channels alongside matters.
What is the easiest way to grow restoration revenue?
Usually capturing the reconstruction on jobs you already mitigated. Handing that to another contractor gives away the larger half of the revenue on work you already won and already have the relationship for. Measuring that conversion rate often reveals the biggest available gain.
The formula
revenue = jobs x average value; gross profit = revenue x margin

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 |
|---|---|
| Repair jobs per month | 28 |
| Average value | $5,600 |
| Gross margin on this work | 43% |
| Share of total revenue | 40% |
What comes out
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Repair revenue per month main result | $156,800 |
| Per year | $1,881,600 |
| Gross profit per year | $809,088 |
| Implied total business revenue | $4,704,000 |
The repair line brings in $1,881,600 a year and earns $809,088 of gross profit on it.
How sensitive the answer is
Holding everything else steady and changing only average value, this is what happens to repair revenue per month. It is worth knowing which of your inputs the answer actually hinges on, and which barely move it.
| Average value ($) | Repair revenue per month |
|---|---|
| $2,800 | $78,400 |
| $4,200 | $117,600 |
| $5,600 example above | $156,800 |
| $8,400 | $235,200 |
| $11,200 | $313,600 |
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.
