Salon/beauty revenue estimate.

Beauty business revenue combines service income (treatments, haircuts) with retail (product sales to clients). Solo beauticians doing 6 services/day at 60 average across 5-day weeks = 93,600 service revenue/year. Add 10% retail lift and total is ~103k. Multi-chair salons scale proportionally.

Retail is the hidden margin driver. A stylist selling 10 of product per 100 of service adds 10% to revenue at zero labour cost. Best salons push retail attachment to 20-25% by training staff on product recommendation. Going from 5% to 15% retail attachment on a 100k service business adds 10k/year profit, mostly margin.

Service capacity caps revenue. A solo beautician maxes at ~8 services/day × 5 days × 50 weeks = 2,000 services/year. At 75 average, that's 150k gross service revenue. Beyond this point scaling requires hiring chairs - each adding 80-120k revenue capacity but also rent, commission, and management overhead.

A worked example

Try the defaults: clients per day of 6, avg service price of 60, days per week of 5, weeks per year of 50. The tool returns 99,000.00. You can adjust any input and the result updates as you type — no submit button, no reload. That's the real power here: seeing how sensitive the output is to one or two assumptions.

What moves the number most

The result responds to Clients per Day, Avg Service Price, Days per Week, Weeks per Year, and Retail Revenue %. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.

The formula behind this

Service revenue = clients × price × days × weeks. Retail = service × retail %. Total = service + retail. Everything the calculator does is shown in the formula box below, so you can check the math against your own spreadsheet if you want.

What the score tells you

Headline financial numbers — income, savings, debt — each tell part of the story. This calculation stitches several together into a single read you can track over time. The value is in the direction, not the absolute number.

What this doesn't capture

The score is a composite of the inputs you provide. Life context — job security, family obligations, health, housing — doesn't appear in the math but shapes the real picture. Use the number as a prompt, not a verdict.
