Is this D2D offer good?

A recruiter just quoted you doors, splits, and a big season. Put the numbers in and get the arithmetic back: weekly and monthly commission, the doors behind every deal, and an honest range instead of one hype number. Every default is editable, every assumption is disclosed below, and the link in your address bar carries your exact offer, so you can send it to someone straight before you sign anything.

The recruiter's numbers

Picking a trade loads its working defaults. Then overwrite anything with the recruiter's real numbers; your edits are what the share link carries.
Of every 100 doors knocked, how many become a set appointment or quote.
Of every 100 sets, how many sign. Roofing preset uses the cited 25-35 band's middle.

Preset values are working assumptions, not measurements; the one cited band is the roofing set-to-close rate. Sources and dates are in the footnotes. If the recruiter's numbers beat these defaults, make them prove it with pay stubs, then type the proven numbers in.

The verdict

$12,480

Expected commission per month, before taxes and costs

$2,880

Per week

4.8

Closes / week

83

Doors per deal

Conservative $1,728 $7,488
Expected $2,880 $12,480
Optimistic $4,032 $17,472

The range flexes your combined knock-to-close rate 40 percent down and 40 percent up. Rep-to-rep spread on the same crew is usually wider, and 1099 reps carry their own taxes, gas, and dead weeks. This is arithmetic on your inputs, not a promise of income.

The link updates as you type. Send it; the numbers arrive prefilled.

The offer sets your split. The doors you pick set your paycheck.

Every number above moves when you knock better doors. Canvass Pro scores every door 0 to 99 and shows why, routes your best doors into a drive loop, and logs every knock offline. The scored map and the knock log are free forever, one seat, no card.

The assumptions, in the open.

Every default, sourced or admitted.

One number on this page is cited. The rest are working assumptions we chose to be conservative, and they exist to be overwritten with the recruiter's real, proven numbers. Here is which is which.

  • The math

    Doors per day x days per week x knock-to-set x set-to-close = closes per week. Closes x commission per close = weekly commission. Monthly = weekly x 52 / 12. Doors per deal = 10,000 / (knock-to-set % x set-to-close %). The conservative and optimistic bands multiply expected closes by 0.6 and 1.4. No other model is applied.

  • Roofing, cited

    Set-to-close 30% is the middle of the 25-35% close-rate band reported for post-storm inspection canvassing in practitioner storm-restoration guides (roofingsoftwareguide.com and peers, 2026), compiled with dates in the Canvass Pro growth research corpus on 2026-08-04 and flagged there as directional, not census data. The corpus's volume anchor, a 6-canvasser crew generating 40-60 inspections in a post-storm weekend (same class of source, 2026), is consistent with the preset's 80 doors a day at a 4% set rate. The $600 commission and everything else in the roofing preset are working assumptions.

  • Solar, assumed

    60 doors a day, 3% knock-to-set, 20% set-to-close, $1,200 a close: all working assumptions, no citation claimed. Context worth pressure-testing any 2026 solar offer against: the 25D residential credit expired 2025-12-31 and 2026 residential installs are forecast down 18-21% (PV Tech, compiled in the corpus 2026-08-04).

  • Pest, assumed

    100 doors a day, 5% knock-to-set, 60% set-to-close (pest often closes at the door), $120 a close, six days a week: all working assumptions shaped around the summer-program structure (roughly late April through August; corpus, 2026-08-04). A pest offer quoted as an annual contract value times your percent belongs in the percent mode above.

  • Security, assumed

    90 doors a day, 3% knock-to-set, 50% set-to-close, $300 a close: all working assumptions, no citation claimed. Alarm comp plans vary widely with equipment subsidies and clawbacks; ask the recruiter what a chargeback does to that $300.

  • Fiber, assumed

    100 doors a day, 6% knock-to-set, 70% set-to-close, $50 an install: all working assumptions, no citation claimed. Fiber is the year-round trade: BEAD-funded buildouts are mobilizing from 2026 through 2030 (NTIA progress dashboard, compiled in the corpus 2026-08-04), so a fiber offer should be judged on volume, not season.

  • Reality check

    No reputable national average income for commission D2D reps exists. The only government series, BLS OES 41-9091 (door-to-door sales workers), counted about 6,220 W-2 workers at a $42,200 mean wage in May 2023, and it misses most of the industry because most reps are 1099 contractors (BLS, May 2023; corpus, 2026-08-04). Anyone quoting you "the average D2D rep makes X" is quoting marketing.

  • No guarantee

    This calculator multiplies the numbers you type. It does not know your market, your weather, your manager, or your work rate, and neither we nor any recruiter can guarantee income. If an offer only works at the optimistic line, it is not an offer, it is a lottery ticket.
