Questions

What is the Profit First method?

Profit First is a cash-management approach where you allocate a share of revenue to profit (and owner's pay and tax) before spending on expenses, rather than treating profit as whatever is left over. By setting fixed percentages and moving that money aside first, you force the business to operate on what remains — which tends to make profit consistent instead of accidental.

What percentages should I use?

It depends on your revenue level and industry, and you should adjust over time. Many small businesses start with modest profit and tax allocations and a realistic owner's-pay percentage, then increase the profit share gradually. This allocator lets you set any percentages and see the dollar impact, so you can find a split that is both healthy and livable.
