Default Monthly Income

Just out of curiosity, what would a landscaping/lawn care business with me as the owner and the only employee typically make a month? I am trying to see if I am in line.

Are you talking before or after taxes?

Like mentioned before it's really going to depend on your location, but if I had to just wing it...$6,000 a month is good, not great, but good.

I heard somewhere $50,000 per employee. Not sure how that would work for the owner/operator. It might be the same though considering the employees wages are around $18,000 which might be close to a owners expenses.

Experienced guy start $10 per hr
Not experienced start $8 per hr

After a period of time evaluate then adjust accordingly.
