Does Mr. Handyman’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. Mr. Handyman’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees such as the royalty (7% of Gross Sales other than material, subcontractor and roll-in revenue) come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions
Table A reports 165 franchisees operating 341 businesses in five groups by number of businesses owned, not one systemwide per-unit sales average. The two-unit group contains the largest number of reporting businesses, but its average is based on first averaging data per franchisee, so it must not be called a systemwide unit average. The single-unit group is shown separately. The FDD includes some partial-year businesses where the same franchisee owned another full-year business; its 2025 sample therefore is not uniformly full-year per unit. Item 19 excludes twelve closed businesses and reports no owner profit. Minimum weekly fees and mixed revenue bases prevent a reliable annual fee model from these group averages.
How to interpret Mr. Handyman’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.
The License Fee uses separate rates for material and subcontractor revenue, and both License and MAP fees have time-dependent weekly minimums. The FDD does not disclose the required revenue mix for the Item 19 groups. Local marketing spending, software users and call-center appointments add other bases, so a flat annual total from gross sales would misstate the fees. Reported sales are not owner income.
Scope of these figures: The selected Mr. Handyman disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 67 reporting franchisees operating 134 franchised businesses in the two-unit group; average first calculated per franchisee. They do not establish take-home owner income or the results of a new outlet. Read the linked Item 19 for the franchisor's definitions and exclusions.
