A few posts in the past have asked forum members how much they earn in a season. Not many people (myself included) are going to give out what they personally earn in a year. My feeling is that's nobody's business but mine.

However, I think it'd be interesting to know how many full-time/part-time employees (in addition to yourself) you may have, and what your expected GROSS for 2000 is. Not NET, and not what you personally make...just GROSS. I figure most of us are small businesses grossing less than $150K.

In fact, don't even be specific. Just give a range for an answer. I.E. Under 50K, 50K-75K, 75K-100K, 100K-150K, 150K-200K, 200K-250K, 250 and above.

I'll start...this year it's just my partner and I plus one full-time employee and we expect to gross around 140K-150K. Last year we had three full time employees and grossed 175K-200K. We're full-service 12months a year.

The last one you posted fits me, the $250.00 and above.

I'll be next.

I guess I would fit in the 50K to 75K end. We are really rural here. A good year is 75K gross.

I have myself and a partner.

50-75k Went through a full timer. Now just me and a 3-10 hr part timer

This year I will gross slightly over 50K and I am a one man show working full time.

I looks like we will finish up in the 200,000 to 250,000 club.

[MRPLOW]

I'm full time, with no employee's. Just under 60K gross. I just do lawn cuuting and December thru March snowplowing. I'm also an income tax preparer in the winter, work that about 30 hours a week.

 

[tazman]

Myself and 2 part-time help: $100-150K

 

[TGCummings]

Under 50K, working about 20 hours/week OTJ, 30 hours/week including paperwork & maintenance.

Six months ago, I made the same working 40 hours OTJ, 60 including support work. Now, I'm riding out the string and hoping to inject additional changes come Spring.

Ask me again in another year.

3 Full time plus myself, we do year round commerical grounds mainteance and will be over $225,000.00 this year.
Just My Two cents

 

[tpirobert]

50-65K with p/t helper. 85K gross 2 years ago, but will net more this year. New mantra is "gross less net more".

We must have a lot of shy members here. Anyone else want to post a reply? So far it looks like there's a pretty good mix of figures as far as gross profits go.
