Consortium Pricing Calculator

The consortium is the renewing side of a drug testing business, and it only works if the annual membership fee clears the pool's expected testing and administration costs. Enter your own numbers and see the math before you commit to a price.

This is a planning model driven entirely by the numbers you enter, in your browser. It is not a quote, a market rate, or an earnings claim, and small pools can swing above or below the expected test counts in any given year.

The pool, per year

Membership revenue: $5,000
Expected random drug tests: 20.0
Expected random alcohol tests: 4.0
Expected testing cost: $1,240
Testing + administration cost: $2,440
Net for the pool: $2,560
Net per driver: $64.00
Break-even fee per driver: $61.00

The renewal insight: this net repeats every year the members renew, which is why the consortium, not the one-time test, is the business.

The paid kit turns this math into an operation.

The Drug Testing Business Kit includes the consortium playbook, the printable revenue worksheet behind this calculator, the service menu and pricing guide, and the templates that run the pool. $249 once, 30-day money-back guarantee.
