Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good revenue per employee figure?
This varies enormously by industry - highly automated or capital-intensive businesses can show revenue per employee in the millions, while labor-intensive service businesses often show much lower figures. Compare only within similar industries.
Should I use full-time headcount or include contractors?
This depends on what you're trying to measure. Using full-time equivalent (FTE) headcount, including significant contractor usage, generally gives a more accurate efficiency picture than counting only direct employees.

Does higher revenue per employee always mean a better business?
Not necessarily - it's one signal among many. A business could have high revenue per employee due to heavy automation or outsourcing, which doesn't always translate to higher profitability.
