Salon Profit & Pricing Planner - Essential V1.0

**Find out what one salon service really needs to charge.**

Busy does not always mean profitable. Essential helps independent salon owners work from the reality of their own business instead of copying the price list down the road or relying on guesswork.

Choose one service, enter your figures and see a commercially grounded price based on your costs, available time, target income and profit margin.

What Essential calculates

- The price your chosen service needs to achieve

- The difference between that figure and your current price

- Suggested Junior, Senior and Manager/Creative Director menu prices

What you enter

- Annual salon running costs

- Employee costs and required owner income

- Realistic working capacity and occupancy

- Appointment and reusable/processing time

- Direct product and other service costs

- Target profit margin

- Stylist-level percentages and your current price

Simple to use and easy to keep

- Works on your Windows computer in a current version of Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome

- Saves your figures automatically on the same device and browser, so you can close the planner and continue later

- Lets you print your result or save it as a PDF

- Exports dedicated Essential upgrade data for use with Professional

- Keeps your working data locally on your device

Who Essential is for

Essential is ideal if you own or manage an independent salon and want a focused answer for one important service at a time - for example, a cut and finish, colour service or treatment.

If you need to compare several services, explore more detailed staffing or planning scenarios, or work at a broader business level, choose Professional or Premium.
