DPC Simple Sustainability Calculator
Will my DPC practice be sustainable?
Use this free calculator to see if your practice can sustain itself.
Fill in the six boxes with your best guess. You'll see when your practice could break even, when it could pay you what you need, and what a year looks like once you've welcomed your patients. Change any number and watch it move.
Fill these in
Rough guesses are fine. You can always come back and change them.
Estimates for planning only. Not financial, tax, or legal advice. Doesn't include income taxes, malpractice or one-time surprises unless you add them to your costs.
Ready for the whole picture?
This simple calculator gives you a first answer. But no two DPC practices are the same. On Day 2 of the Practice Design Studio workshop, we design a detailed calculator together, built around your unique offerings, abilities and creativity, so you leave with a plan that fits your practice and nobody else's.
- Every cost, year by year. Set what you spend in Year 1, 2, 3 and beyond, and start lean the way a smart practice does.
- Your real fees. Different fees for different ages, with raises over time, and a growth plan for how many patients you add each year.
- Your real life. Your family's monthly needs, a partner's income, loans you're paying off, and retirement savings that start when you choose.
- Three answers, not one. The month you break even, the month you reach your goal income, and the month you reach your goal retirement savings.
- A built-in stress test. See what happens if growth takes twice as long, before it happens to you.
- A year-by-year table of your first five years: patients, fees, income, costs and what the practice earns.
We build it together, in the room, so every number comes from your practice and not a guess.
