Does The UPS Store’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. The UPS Store’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 selects U.S. franchised Traditional centers, not Non-Traditional or company-owned locations. Eligibility includes centers operating throughout the year, centers open at January 1 that operated until at least sometime in December, and centers opened sometime in January that operated until at least sometime in December, with reports for their entire operating timeframe. Ownership changes do not automatically exclude a center. Thus the 5,058-center 2025 sample is not necessarily 365 continuous operating days for every location. It excludes 183 Traditional centers outside the operating/reporting criteria and 267 Non-Traditional centers. Adjusted Gross Sales means Gross Sales excluding customer sales taxes, plus Gross Commissions, less permitted exclusions; Gross Sales includes UPS shipping charges received from customers and specified insurance/e-offering proceeds. Commissions include agent compensation such as UPS drop-offs. Exclusions include counter-manifest processing fees and deposits for future goods/services. This is not retained shipping margin, profit or owner income. The top/bottom-decile figures are averages of 506-center groups, not individual maximum/minimum sales. Royalty reports supply the information; the franchisor has not independently audited it and no certified public accountant has audited or opined on it. CRS client transaction volume is not guaranteed, and compensation/margins can change; a large client reduced specified compensation in May 2024. The disclosed sales figures do not deduct shipping costs, labor, other operating expenses, royalties, financing or taxes. Written substantiation is available upon reasonable request.
