Owner-Operator Monthly Profit Calculator

Estimate monthly owner-operator profit from freight revenue, fixed costs, total miles, and variable cost per mile.

Inputs

Monthly revenue and cost assumptions for one truck

Range: at least 0.01 $

Enter revenue for the same truck and month as the cost inputs. Include fuel surcharge only if it was earned and do not count it twice. Positive revenue is required to calculate a margin.

Range: at least 0 $/month

Enter costs for the same truck and month that do not vary directly with miles, such as insurance, equipment payment, and permits. Exclude costs included in variable cost per mile.

Range: at least 0.01 mi/month

Include all loaded and empty miles for the same truck and month. This is the mileage basis for variable expense and per-mile results; it must be greater than zero.

Range: at least 0 $/mi

Use the variable cost for every truck mile, including fuel, maintenance, tires, or driver pay as appropriate. Exclude monthly fixed costs entered separately and do not count any item twice.
