House Painting Business Profit Calculator

Estimate profit for interior or exterior house painting jobs from square footage, price per square foot, paint cost, labor, travel, and monthly job volume.

Job profit = job revenue − paint/materials − labor − travel and prep costs.

Monthly profit = job profit × jobs per month − monthly overhead.

Does this work for exterior painting? Yes, but exterior jobs may need extra inputs for ladders, lifts, weather delays, and surface repair.

Are results exact? No. This is a rough planning calculator.
