How to price weekly poop scooping service correctly
Most new operators underprice because they focus on revenue instead of labor-adjusted take-home. This calculator assumes weekly service and models real route throughput so your quoted price stays profitable after costs.
Use your current customer count and target price to pressure-test margin before you add more routes, ad spend, or payroll. If you're still finalizing launch spend, pair this with the Startup Cost Estimator.

Pricing Calculator FAQ
Why does this calculator focus on net take-home instead of only revenue?
Revenue can look great while margins are weak. This calculator subtracts operating allocations and taxes so you can see what actually reaches your pocket.
What should I put for supplies per customer?
Most operators land in the $1 to $5 range per customer per month depending on route density, bag usage, and cleaning supplies. Start at $2 and adjust using real expenses after month one.
Do I need to include self-employment tax if I use employees?
In employee mode, self-employment tax is not applied in this model. You still need to account for payroll taxes separately in your broader financial planning.
Can I share this with a partner or advisor?
Yes. Unlocking the report gives you an invoice-style table and downloadable branded PDF so you can review assumptions with a partner, CPA, or operations lead.
