How this calculator works
Revenue per employee (RPE) is a key efficiency metric that tells you how much revenue each headcount generates. It's used by investors to compare operational efficiency across companies. Indian tech companies range from ₹30L to ₹2Cr+ RPE. A declining RPE signals you're overhiring relative to revenue growth.
RPE = Annual revenue ÷ Total headcount | Payroll efficiency = Annual revenue ÷ Annual payroll cost | Payroll % = Annual payroll ÷ Annual revenue × 100

Benchmark against your sector
Indian IT services: ₹40–80L/employee. Product SaaS: ₹80–200L. E-commerce: ₹20–60L. Professional services: ₹30–60L.
Focus on RPE growth
Your RPE should increase over time as the business scales. Flat or declining RPE is a red flag in investor conversations.
Automation improves RPE
Every process you automate lets the same headcount handle more revenue. Track RPE before and after automation investments.
