Monthly revenue

€600

If the website generates 6 additional enquiries per month and you convert 10% of them, that would produce approximately 0.6 additional jobs per month.

At an average job value of €1,000, those jobs could represent approximately €600 in additional monthly revenue or €7,200 across a full year.

Based on these figures, the website could recover its upfront build cost in around 3.3 months.

These figures are estimates based on the values entered. Actual website performance depends on factors such as traffic, rankings, conversion rate, demand, competition, and how quickly enquiries are handled.

Understanding Your Result

How Website ROI Works

How website ROI is calculated

ROI = (Revenue − Website Cost) ÷ Website Cost × 100

The calculator compares the estimated additional revenue generated over one year with the upfront build cost and twelve months of ongoing website fees.

Revenue is not the same as profit

The projected revenue from additional jobs does not account for labour, materials, tax, fuel, subcontractors, or other business costs. A positive website ROI does not mean all of the additional revenue becomes profit.

Website ROI Calculator FAQs

What does website ROI mean?+

Website ROI compares the estimated financial return generated by a website with the amount spent building and maintaining it.

How is website ROI calculated?+

This calculator subtracts the estimated yearly website cost from the additional yearly revenue, divides the difference by the yearly website cost, and converts the result into a percentage.

What is a good ROI for a trade website?+

There is no single target that suits every trade business. A useful website should ultimately generate enough value to justify its build and ongoing costs while contributing to profitable work.

Does website ROI include profit?+

No. The calculator uses estimated revenue from additional jobs. Labour, materials, tax, overheads, and other business costs still need to be considered when judging actual profitability.
