Illustrative ranges — actual earnings vary by location, effort, and experience, and are not guaranteed. Figures are gross revenue before materials, taxes, insurance, and other business costs — not take-home profit.
How the math works
Simple, transparent assumptions
No black box — just your own inputs multiplied out across a working year.
Weekly revenue
Jobs per week × your average price per job.
Annual revenue
Weekly revenue × 50 working weeks (leaving room for time off).
Payback
The course price divided by your price per job — the number of jobs to break even.
These are gross-revenue estimates for an active solo operator, before materials, taxes, insurance, and other business costs. They illustrate potential, not a guarantee — your results depend on your market, effort, and experience.
