What this calculator does

Calculate weekly take-home after fuel, dispatch, and per-week share of fixed costs.

Definition
Weekly Profit — Weekly profit is gross load revenue minus weekly fuel, dispatch, and weekly share of monthly fixed costs.

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 weekly profit 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.

FAQ

Why divide monthly fixed by 4.33?

There are 4.33 weeks in an average month, not 4. Using 4 understates costs by 8%.
