Florist Revenue per Business

What the average one-person florist business takes in, from federal data.

Revenue per business Census

Average receipts, one-person florist business, 2023 NAICS 459310

$48,341

28,194 businesses with no employees reported $1,362,937,000 in total receipts.

This is revenue, not income. Supplies, fuel, insurance, rent and taxes all come out of it before the owner is paid.

What owners keep IRS

Average net income per sole proprietor, 2023 wider group

$3,639

Average receipts in the same group: $48,338 across 848,568 returns.

Not florist alone. The IRS does not publish florist separately. This figure covers the whole "Miscellaneous store retailers" group, so it mixes in other trades. It is an average, and losses pull it down.

How to read these numbers

Both figures are averages. No federal source publishes a median or a percentile range for owners of a single business type, so this page does not show one. The Census figure counts only businesses with no paid employees. Next: what it costs to start a florist business.
