Does Merry Maids’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. Merry Maids’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions
Item 19 (PDF pages 63-67) distinguishes individual franchised territories from Franchise Ownership Groups, which may own several territories. Table 3 reports average Gross Sales of $391,007 and median Gross Sales of $299,059 for all 644 Active Franchises. This includes Qualified Franchises and Legacy Franchises that are no longer offered. Table 2 separately reports average group sales of $1,030,874 and median group sales of $773,868 across 250 ownership groups; these are not per-franchise figures. Source conflict retained: Table 2 prints 92 groups at or above the overall average and a $57,274 minimum; Table 3 prints 95 groups at or above that average and a $57,275 overall group minimum. No corrected value is inferred.
