Cost Per Service Calculator

A gel manicure looks cheap to deliver until you count everything that goes into it: base coat, color, top coat, cuticle oil, files, buffers and lint-free wipes. A chemical peel or a root touch-up tells the same story. Small costs add up, and they come out of every single appointment.

This calculator is for anyone who performs services: estheticians, hairstylists, nail technicians, lash and brow artists, barbers and owners costing a menu. Add one line per item. Choose whether it is a product (enzyme mask, lash adhesive, color, developer), a supply (gloves, cotton, foils, applicators) or another consumable (laundry, single-use linens), then enter how much one service uses and what that amount costs. Solo providers and owners can add the service length, monthly rent and labor too: a 90-minute back facial in a $2,000-a-month room worked 160 hours a month carries $18.75 of rent.

You get the product cost, supply cost, rent share, labor and the true cost per service. Send them straight into the Service Pricing Calculator to find a price that covers them, plus profit.
