Price Increase Calculator

Raising prices feels risky because some clients may leave. The math is often kinder than the fear. If a 60-minute signature facial goes from $100 to $115, you could lose about one client in eight and still bring in the same service revenue, while working fewer hours.

This calculator is for solo providers and owners: a nail technician updating a gel manicure price, a barber moving a cut & beard up, a studio adjusting its menu one service at a time. Enter the current and new price, monthly appointments for the service, its length and product cost, your monthly rent and labor: your pay per hour if you work solo, or the provider’s wage and commission if you own the business. Rent is shared by the hour, and commission rises with the price. Under “Customize your calculation” you can add card processing and the share of clients you expect to lose.

You see current and new monthly revenue and profit, the monthly and yearly increase, and how many clients you could lose before revenue falls below where it is today. It is a planning estimate: how your clients respond is still yours to judge.
