Small business benchmarks

  • 23rd November

Small business benchmarks are a guide to help you compare your business’s performance against similar businesses in the same industry.

The benchmarks:

  • are calculated from income tax returns and activity statements from over 1.3 million small businesses and are verified as being statistically valid by an independent organisation
  • account for businesses with different turnover ranges (up to $15 million) across more than 100 industries
  • are published as a range to recognise the variations that occur between businesses due to factors such as location and the businesses circumstances.

We update the benchmarks each year using the latest available data. The current data is from the 2013–14 financial year.
