For salon, barber, nail, beauty and spa owners — working alone or with a small team — who want to know which services pay for the time they take, what cancellations and no-shows cost, and whether the month can cover rent and salaries at the capacity they actually have. It checks a planned month; it does not read your booking system.

Why this and not a simple service-price calculator: it splits every booking into performed, cancelled and refilled, cancelled and not refilled, and no-show under your deposit rules, keeps package cash apart from revenue and the visits you still owe, and checks capacity separately for each person and station. Staff pay models and options such as chair rental or an extra station are compared side by side. One payment, no subscription; no bank, accounting or marketplace connection; your data stays on your device; no AI — every result is an exact decimal calculation with “How it is calculated”, in 8 languages and any currency.

You enter your team and how each person is paid (fixed salary, hourly, % of revenue before or after discount and tax, fixed per service, or fixed + %), opening hours and stations, then each service with price, procedure, prep and clean-up minutes, consumables, payment fee, who performs it, where, and planned bookings. Add cancellation, refill and no-show shares, your deposit and refund rules, prepaid packages, fixed costs and the options you want to compare.

You get the contribution and contribution per hour of every service, the four visit outcomes with your deposit rules, cancellation and no-show losses, package cash vs revenue vs visits still owed, capacity per person and station, break-even visits with the utilisation needed — or a clear “not reachable under these conditions” — and a side-by-side view of working alone, employing staff, chair rental, an extra station and a price or time change. Every result shows how it is calculated. No AI — exact, traceable calculations. One-time payment, no subscription. It works on a phone and a computer, and your data stays on your device.

What's inside

Contribution per service and per hourSlot = procedure + prep + clean-up. Price excluding indirect tax minus consumables, pay that depends on the visit and payment fees, per visit and per hour of slot.
Every staff pay modelFixed salary, hourly (scheduled hours or service time only), % of revenue before or after discount and including or excluding tax, optionally on kept deposits, fixed per service, fixed + %, with your own employer-cost rate. Fixed pay is always a fixed cost.
Your own time, shown twiceFor services you perform yourself: contribution before and after valuing your hour, and break-even with and without your time.
Four visit outcomes and depositsPerformed, cancelled and refilled, cancelled and not refilled, no-show — each with its own revenue, pay and fees under your deposit and refund rules. A deposit of a performed visit is part of the price, not extra revenue.
Cancellation and no-show lossesWhat each outcome costs per month compared with a performed visit, per service and in total.
Packages without fake profitCash on sale, revenue only for delivered visits, and the remaining obligation in visits and money — never the whole package as profit on the payment day.
Capacity per person and stationAvailable, planned and counted hours for every person and station; the tightest resource sets the maximum at your mix — capacities are never added. Over-booked plans are capped and flagged.
Break-even visits and utilisation neededFixed costs ÷ contribution per booked visit at your planned mix, with the utilisation it needs, or “Break-even is not reachable under these conditions” when it exceeds capacity.
Business options side by sideCurrent plan, working alone, chair rental, one more station and a price or duration change: profit, profit after your time, break-even and profit at full capacity — plus a staff pay model comparison.
Client price list, reports and scenariosA client-facing price list and package offer without internal costs, a service economics sheet and a full report as PDF (A4 or US Letter), CSV and JSON backup; Current, Variant A and B.

Questions

Who is it for?

Owners of hair salons, barbershops, nail, beauty and spa studios who work alone or with a few staff and want to plan prices, pay and capacity with their own numbers.

How are no-shows and deposits handled?

Each booking is split into four outcomes using the shares you enter. Retained deposits after a cancellation or no-show count as revenue under your refund rules; a deposit of a performed visit is simply part of its price. The shares are your assumptions, not predictions.

Does it store client or health information?

No. There are no client records and no fields for health, allergies or treatment notes — only services, prices, times and costs.

What does it not calculate?

Income tax; which VAT or sales tax applies to you or to kept deposits (you choose the treatment and rate); demand, cancellations or how clients react to a price; a minute-by-minute timetable; expiry or refunds of packages. It does not connect to booking or payment systems.

Can I try it first?

Yes. The free demo at /tools/salon-capacity-service-profit uses a fictional salon with an owner, two employees on different pay models, deposits, packages and all business options — every screen and calculation works there. Your own projects, file import and saved work open after purchase.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and use it for as many projects and calculations as you need. Your projects stay in your browser on your device.

Business license for use in your own business. No resale or redistribution. Opens in your browser right after payment, on phone and computer. Your figures stay on your device. No physical item.
