01Acquisition, cohorts and active customersWorksheet specification
Acquisition, cohorts and active customers
Planned purpose: The paid workbook links marketing spend and customer acquisition cost to new-customer allocations, retention or lifetime and active service-level cohorts.
Inputs
Marketing spend
Customer acquisition cost
Seasonality
Service-level allocation
Customer lifetime or churn
Outputs
New customers
Active customers
Cohort retention
Limits and completion needs
The public StartFigures case counts completed removal jobs, not active subscribers.
A household pickup is usually a one-time transaction; do not assume retention that job records do not support.
02Service levels and monthly feesWorksheet specification
Service levels and monthly fees
Planned purpose: Multiplies active customers in each service level by a monthly fee and aggregates recurring revenue.
Inputs
Starting customers
Monthly fee by level
Customer allocation
Lifetime
Scenario growth
Outputs
Monthly recurring revenue
Annual revenue
Revenue by service level
Limits and completion needs
The workbook's verified native formula is E07 active customers × monthly fee.
The public $550 weighted completed-job ticket needs a custom job-to-cohort bridge and is not a native monthly fee.
03Disposal, route and operating costsWorksheet specification
Disposal, route and operating costs
Planned purpose: Separates disposal, fuel and other service-linked costs from vehicle, yard, insurance, software, marketing and administration.
Inputs
Disposal cost
Fuel and route cost
Payment fees
Vehicle cost
Insurance
Marketing
Outputs
Direct removal cost
Gross margin
Operating expenses
Limits and completion needs
Material class, weight, facility, minimum fee and rejected loads require actual tickets.
Donation or recycling does not create disposal savings until a facility accepts the item.
04Payroll and truck capacityWorksheet specification
Payroll and truck capacity
Planned purpose: Schedules the paid owner-manager, crew roles, compensation, start dates and employer costs.
Inputs
Roles
Headcount
Pay rates
Start dates
Payroll burden
Outputs
Monthly payroll
Headcount
Labor cost by period
Limits and completion needs
National wage data do not set a local offer.
Truck volume, weight, route time, stairs, loading, sorting and facility queues need a separate capacity ledger.
05Capex, funding and cashWorksheet specification
Capex, funding and cash
Planned purpose: Times the truck or trailer, loading equipment, containers, setup costs and reserve uses.
Inputs
Opening uses
Replacement schedule
Funding sources
Debt terms
Minimum cash
Outputs
Sources and uses
Cash runway
Funding gap
Limits and completion needs
The $185,000 StartFigures allocation is authored and requires actual quotes.
Cash timing must include payroll, disposal, repairs, claims, tax and collection.
06Scenarios, statements and dashboardWorksheet specification
Scenarios, statements and dashboard
Planned purpose: Connects cohort revenue, service-level mix, costs, payroll and funding to statements, scenarios, break-even and KPIs.
Inputs
Selected scenario
Contribution assumptions
Financing
Tax assumptions
Reporting dates
Outputs
P&L
Cash flow
Balance sheet
Break-even
Dashboard and ratios
Limits and completion needs
Outputs inherit every cohort, fee, disposal and staffing assumption.
A custom E05 job or load model may fit a one-time pickup operation better than the verified paid workbook.

Only route-wide completed jobs per field day changes. Retained sale per completed removal job: $550.00; 5 operating days per week. Fixed costs and contribution margin stay constant. “Not reached” means no operating break-even within the 12-month ramp. This sensitivity is separate from the annual forecast and does not measure cash payback.

Units mean route-wide completed jobs per field day. The ramp covers 12 months; operating break-even does not measure recovery of opening capital.
The annual forecast and fixed-cost sensitivity are separate planning views. The website does not yet supply a complete funding, debt, tax and working-capital schedule for a cumulative cash-flow or payback chart. Read the full input basis and limitations.
Annual forecast and calculator comparison
The annual forecast and calculator use separate scenarios. Their revenue ramp or cost allocations differ, as shown below. The calculator's break-even month does not reconcile the annual forecast.

What do the online previews show?
The online preview explains Acquisition, cohorts and active customers, Service levels and monthly fees, Disposal, route and operating costs, Payroll and truck capacity, Capex, funding and cash, Scenarios, statements and dashboard using this website's illustrative case. It is separate from the downloadable Excel model.
Are these previews pages from a finished file?
The web previews are rendered from the website's case record. They illustrate planning concepts and calculations; they are not screenshots or a page-by-page inventory of the downloadable product.
What would I need to change for my business?
Review retained sale per completed removal job, route-wide completed jobs per field day, the operating schedule, opening budget and costs. These web previews do not edit a workbook. Test the website's price and volume assumptions in the business idea page's calculator.
Is the written business plan included?
The Financial Model is sold separately. The $168 Bundle adds the $59 Business Plan and $109 Financial Model for the same business to one cart, one of each.
Do the figures establish what my business will earn?
No. The figures describe an illustrative U.S. operating case, not measured industry averages or a prediction for your location. EBITDA is not owner cash, and operating break-even does not recover the opening investment. Check local costs, capacity and demand before using the assumptions.
