Inside the normal range
Your margin is 10%
A typical optometry practice runs 8–20% after the owner is paid, and the strongest run about 19%.
The math
- $883,000 revenue − $794,700 costs = $88,300 profit
- $88,300 ÷ $883,000 = 10%
Getting to 19% would be $79,470 more a year — $6,623 a month — on the revenue you already have.
