What this means
Staffing efficiency looks workable
Revenue per employee is not below the planning range we use for general small business
Each team member is currently carrying about $20,000 in monthly revenue, payroll is taking about 26.7% of revenue, and the current inputs imply about 160 hours per employee in the month.
Payroll share is already at or below the 28% target you entered, so the current staffing cost looks supportable at this revenue level.

Planning ranges used in this revenue per employee calculator
This calculator uses planning ranges because healthy revenue per employee depends on the business model and team shape.
The result is not a rule. It is a quick signal for whether staffing efficiency looks soft or strong.
General small business

How to use this revenue per employee calculator
This calculator shows how much revenue each team member is carrying, what payroll looks like as a share of revenue, and how much more revenue is needed to bring payroll share back to target.
Why this number matters
Busy teams do not always mean efficient teams. Revenue per employee helps show whether the staffing model is carrying enough sales.
That is especially useful once a business is already profitable and wants cleaner operating discipline.
How to use the result
If revenue per employee is weak, the issue may be demand, pricing, payroll load, or the way work is being delivered.
The payroll-share target adds a more grounded planning check than pretending a benchmark band is a hard capacity ceiling.
