The Expansion Gap calculator
Your Expansion Gap is the distance between where your business is now and where you want it to be, measured against the hours you actually want to work. You’ll see how much of that gap is already sitting in your business, and what’s left to close.
Takes about 5 minutes.
At the end, we’ll email you your full breakdown with suggestions for where to start.
Step 1
Start with your goal. Then add the business as it is today, using the last 12 months. The first four are needed for your result, and the rest make it sharper.

Where you are now
Step 2
Each one is revenue your business could collect or money it could keep. You’ll put a number on it next. Leave anything that isn’t true for you.
Step 3
Rough estimates are fine. If you’re unsure, go lower. A number you believe is more useful than a big one.
You didn’t tick anything on the last step. Go back if something there sounded familiar, or continue to your time.
Step 4
Hours spent on work that doesn’t need you. Getting these back is part of how your gap closes. They’re counted as time and never turned into dollars. Leave blank anything that doesn’t apply.
Step 5
These don’t get a dollar figure. For a lot of founders, they’re the numbers that matter most.
Step 6
You’ll see your Expansion Gap on the next screen. We’ll also email you the full breakdown, with suggestions for where to start.
