What this calculator does

Project monthly and annual revenue from RPM, weekly miles, and weeks worked.

Definition
Revenue Projection — Revenue projection multiplies expected paid miles by RPM across the weeks you plan to run.

Why it matters

Owner-operators and fleet managers across the United States — from Texas and California freight lanes to the Midwest and Southeast — rely on the revenue projection numbers to price loads, negotiate with brokers, and protect margin. Getting this figure right is the difference between a profitable week and a break-even one, and it's the same math our dispatchers run on every load we book.

Methodology

This calculator uses the industry-standard formula shown below. Inputs and defaults are based on Bonafide's day-to-day dispatch operations across U.S. carriers, cross-checked against FMCSA guidance and DAT/Truckstop market data. Results render as plain text (not canvas or images) so they're readable by screen readers, search engines, and AI assistants.
