A healthy chiropractic practice runs total overhead at or below 50 percent of revenue. Topperforming practices get that number under 44 percent. If your practice is running at 58 or 60 percent, you are working full schedules and keeping a fraction of what you earn.

Key Benchmarks for Chiropractic Practices

KPI	Healthy Range	Top Performers
Net Profit Margin	30–40%	40–55%
Collections Ratio	95% or above	97–99%
Staff Cost	18–28% of revenue	Under 22%
Total Overhead	Under 50%	Under 44%
Avg Revenue Per Visit (cash)	$120–$200	$180–$250+
Avg Revenue Per Visit (insurance)	$60–$90	$85–$100
Cash Runway	3–6 months opex	6+ months

Average revenue per visit is the metric most unique to chiropractic. A cash-pay practice at $110 per visit when top performers are hitting $180 is leaving $420,000 on the table at 6,000 annual visits. Not from adding patients. From pricing and service structure.
