Average Tire Dealer Revenue per Year 2022 Economic Census

The 2022 Economic Census counts every tire dealer with paid employees and publishes their combined annual receipts. Dividing one by the other gives the average annual revenue per employer establishment below.

≈$2,115,000 /year

Average annual gross revenue per employer establishment

20,495

Employer establishments in the United States, 2022

as published $43.3 billion

Combined annual gross revenue of employer establishments, 2022

How this is calculated: about $43.3 billion in combined annual receipts divided by 20,495 employer establishments works out to an average annual revenue of $2,115,000 per employer establishment. This is the code that automotive parts retailers explicitly exclude, so a tire-led business belongs here rather than there.

Scope: Tire Dealers, NAICS 441340. Classified separately in group 4413: 441330 Automotive Parts and Accessories Retailers. Nothing outside that code is counted on this page.

Five years on, this industry group counted about 68 establishments aged five for every 100 that first reported paid employment in 2018. Census compares counts by age rather than following the same businesses, so read it as a broad continuation indicator for the industry group, not as a tracked survival rate.

Across the 2014 to 2018 cohorts, five-year results ranged from 67.2 to 71.7 percent. This benchmark covers Automotive Parts, Accessories, and Tire Retailers, NAICS 4413, as a whole, and this category accounts for 20,495 of the 60,717 employer establishments in it. A count by age is not a survival rate, because the figures compare two headcounts rather than follow one set of businesses.

Payroll as a Share of Revenue Official data

Payroll divided by receipts, both as published for the same year.

MeasureValue

Payroll share of receipts, Tire Dealers, United States, 2022 Economic Census.

Approximately 19.0 percent of every revenue dollar goes to annual payroll. Revenue mixes goods sold with service performed, and the two carry very different labor intensities.

Payroll here excludes benefits, employer taxes and owner compensation, and the census does not publish the cost of the tires themselves.

Business Scale and Ownership Structure Official data

How large the average establishment is, and whether the population is independent operators or multi-site companies.

Sources and Methodology

Revenue, establishment counts, payroll, employment and firm counts on this page come from the 2022 Economic Census, Summary Statistics, published by the US Census Bureau. Averages and shares are BusinessNES calculations from those published totals, and each one names the two figures it divides.

The Census counts employer establishments, meaning each staffed store rather than each company, so a chain contributes one per location.
