Direct cost per trip = driver pay, fuel and maintenance divided by all trips. Fixed costs are shared across all trips. Estimates for planning only. Your contracts, routes and receipts decide the real number.

FAQ

What profit margin do NEMT companies make?

It varies too much to quote one number honestly. Thin broker rates and high driver costs keep many operators in single digits. Use your own month.

Why compare broker and private-pay trips?

They cost about the same to run but pay differently. Shifting even a tenth of your broker trips to private pay can change the year.

What counts as direct cost?

Driver pay, fuel and maintenance. Everything else is fixed and shared across all trips.
