Valet trash profit calculator
Model one property's monthly revenue, porter labor, contribution margin, and break-even doors. Change every assumption and inspect the formula before you trust the result.
Your assumptions
Model one property
Use occupied or contract-billable doors, not total units, when occupancy affects billing.
What the property pays your company—not the resident amenity fee.
Five nights is common, but use the signed service schedule.
Include every paid porter assigned to the property on a normal service night.
Include wages or route pay plus employer taxes and recurring labor burden.
Insurance, software, gear, admin, hauling, and other property-level allocations.

Formula
Doors × monthly operator revenue per door − (52 ÷ 12 × weekly nights × porters × loaded porter-night cost) − entered overhead.
Replace assumptions with route evidence
A portfolio average can hide a slow elevator property or an oversized route. Re-run the model for every property and replace the default inputs with actual porter cost, service frequency, occupancy rules, and allocated overhead.
The companion valet trash pricing guide explains the difference between the resident fee, operator bid, and cost to deliver. Doorstep One's porter payroll workflow connects route completion to reviewable pay records.
Calculator questions
It estimates property-level revenue, loaded porter labor, contribution after entered overhead, contribution margin, annualized contribution, and break-even doors. It does not calculate taxes, financing, owner compensation, or unentered costs.
Use the monthly amount your operating company receives from the property for each billable door. Do not use the resident amenity fee unless the property passes that exact amount through to you.
Include the porter wage or route payment plus recurring employer taxes and labor burden. Add workers’ compensation, recruiting, supervision, or gear to overhead if they are not included in the porter-night figure.
No. It is an arithmetic scenario based entirely on the inputs. Weather, turnover, occupancy, route duration, contract terms, insurance, taxes, missed service, and other costs can materially change actual results.
