What's a good revenue-per-employee benchmark?

It varies enormously by industry — capital-light software companies often exceed $300,000-$500,000 per employee, while labor-intensive service businesses may be well under $100,000.

Should I use full-time headcount or full-time equivalents (FTE)?

FTE is generally more accurate if you have a mix of full-time, part-time, and contract staff, since it normalizes everyone to a full-time-equivalent basis.
