How this calculator works

Every business has a production rate (how much sellable stock it generates per hour) and a cost structure (purchase price, upgrades, supplies). This tool combines them into three numbers players actually care about:

Gross profit per hour — production adjusted for your supply style. Buying supplies keeps ~80% of gross profit; stealing keeps 100% of the money but burns ~35% of your effective time.
Net per day/week (after upkeep) — most calculators ignore this. Businesses charge daily running costs (staff, fees). We subtract them so you see the money you actually keep, on your real playtime — not a theoretical 24/7 figure.
True entry cost — the buy-in plus upgrades plus the prerequisite property you must already own. MC businesses need an MC Clubhouse (~GTA$200k); crate/vehicle businesses need a CEO Office (~GTA$1M). Beginners always forget these hidden costs — we don't.
Break-even (payback days) — days of your playtime to recover the true entry cost from net income. The single best number for deciding what to buy first.

💡 Rule of thumb: buy the business with the lowest payback days you can afford — and remember the daily upkeep. A high-earner that bleeds fees can lose to a cheaper, upkeep-free one. Compound like a Vice City banker.

Value tiers, explained

Each business carries a value tier so you can judge it at a glance: S — Best in class A — Excellent B — Situational C — Feeder only. "Feeder" businesses (C) exist mainly to stock your Nightclub, not to earn on their own.

FAQ

How is business profit per hour calculated?

We take the business's base or fully-upgraded production rate, then apply a supply-mode multiplier: buying supplies keeps ~80% of gross profit, while stealing supplies is free but costs time, dropping effective earnings to ~65%.

What does ROI payback mean?

How many days of your normal playtime it takes for the business to earn back its true entry cost (buy-in + upgrades + prerequisite property) from net income. Lower = better first purchase.

Why is my "net per day" lower than profit per hour × hours?

Because businesses have daily upkeep (staff and running fees) that we subtract. Net income is the money you actually keep — the number that matters for real progress.

What is a prerequisite property?

Some businesses can't be bought on their own. MC businesses need an MC Clubhouse; crate and vehicle businesses need a CEO Office. Our "total entry cost" includes that property so you see the real price to get started.
