What are the odds of earning $100K, $200K, or $300K+ per year as an owner?
Estimated owner take-home (net profit + owner salary). Click any bar for details.
Upfront cost vs. estimated annual owner take-home. Higher bar ratio = faster payback.
Larger systems tend to have higher revenue but are more competitive. Bubble size = investment.
Distribution data
Computed from individual franchise revenues or disclosed distribution bands. Direct counting — no modeling assumptions on revenue shape.
Median + average
Lognormal fit from disclosed median and average revenue. Assumes right-skewed distribution (standard for franchise revenue data).
Insufficient data
Not enough data for probability computation. Median or average may be available but not both, or no Item 19 data disclosed.
Sensitivity note: Franchises without disclosed P&L use a 42% industry-benchmark gross margin (midpoint of 38-45% observed range) and 20% overhead. A 5-point change in gross margin shifts probabilities by approximately 5-10 percentage points depending on the revenue distribution. Only CarePatrol, 1Heart, ABS, and Griswold have disclosed margin data.
Methodology last updated: April 2026. Tier A/B statistical methodology replaces prior heuristic estimates.
Revenue source: Gross revenue or net billings from FDD Item 19 disclosures. Where individual location data is available, we use the actual distribution. Otherwise, we use disclosed averages and medians.
Profit estimation: Owner take-home (ODCF) = revenue × net margin + owner salary. Non-medical home care: 10% net margin. Senior placement: 25%. Where a full P&L is disclosed (e.g., CarePatrol), we use the disclosed ODCF directly.
Probability estimation: For franchises with full revenue distributions (e.g., Visiting Angels, 539 outlets), probabilities are computed by applying margin assumptions to each revenue band. For others, probabilities are approximated from the median ODCF and system characteristics.
Limitations: Most franchises disclose revenue only, not profit. Margin estimates use industry benchmarks which may not reflect individual franchisee operations. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
