> The revenue per employee calculator divides annual revenue by the number of employees (or full-time equivalents) to measure workforce productivity, and also gives profit per employee.

## Inputs

- Annual revenue
- Net income
- Number of employees (FTE)

## Results

- Revenue per employee
- Profit per employee
- Revenue per employee per month

## Formula

```
Revenue per employee = revenue ÷ employees
Profit per employee = net income ÷ employees
```

## Explanation

Revenue per employee is a quick way to compare productivity between companies in the same industry. Software and finance companies often exceed $500,000 per employee, while retail and hospitality are far lower because they are labor-intensive.

### How to use the Revenue per Employee Calculator

- **Annual revenue**
- **Net income**
- **Number of employees (FTE)**

Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.

### How it works

Enter annual revenue, net income and the number of employees (use full-time equivalents for part-time staff).

### Tips

- Use figures for the same period (a month, a quarter or a year) for every input so ratios compare like with like.
- Track the metric over time – the trend usually tells you more than a single value.
- Compare your result with industry benchmarks, which vary a lot between sectors.
- Treat the result as a starting point for a decision, then check the assumptions behind each input.

### Common mistakes to avoid

- Mixing monthly and yearly numbers in the same calculation.
- Using revenue where the formula needs profit (or the other way round).
- Forgetting hidden costs such as taxes, fees, overheads or your own time.

### What each result means

- **Revenue per employee per month** = [Revenue per employee]÷12

### Example values
