What this calculator does
It estimates revenue for one month. In day mode it multiplies appointments per day by the days you work and by the average ticket, then adds extras. In week mode it scales a weekly appointment count by the days you work divided by the days in that week, multiplies by the average ticket, and adds the same extras. You also see that month as daily revenue and as an annual pace. This is revenue, not profit. Nothing in the result subtracts product, rent, software, or pay.
Why a full book is still only revenue
Revenue is the money clients pay. A packed calendar can show a strong month and still leave little once polish, tips, rent, and card fees are paid. Seeing the month, the day, and a 12-month pace from the same appointments gives you the top line before those costs. Read the large figure as money coming in, then compare it with your costs somewhere else before you treat it as take-home pay.
How to use it
- Choose the currency and whether you are starting from a typical day or a typical week.
- In day mode, enter how many appointments you do on a working day. In week mode, enter how many appointments that week had and how many days the week included.
- Enter the average ticket: the typical amount a client pays per visit.
- Enter extras for the month, such as retail or add-ons that are not already inside the average ticket. Type 0 when every dollar is already in the ticket.
- Enter the days you work in the month, then calculate. Use the example to load a day with 4 appointments, a $65 ticket, 20 days, and $200 of extras.
How monthly revenue is calculated
Day mode: monthly revenue = appointments per day × days worked × average ticket + extras. Week mode: monthly revenue = appointments per week × (days worked ÷ days per week) × average ticket + extras. Daily revenue = monthly revenue ÷ days worked. Annual revenue = monthly revenue × 12. Days worked must be greater than zero. The appointment count for the mode you are using must be greater than zero. In week mode, days per week must be greater than zero. Negative numbers are rejected. Appointment revenue and extras are each rounded to the nearest cent, then added. Daily revenue and annual revenue are rounded to the nearest cent from that monthly total. A week of 20 appointments over 5 days, with 20 days worked, a $65 ticket, and $200 of extras is 20 × (20 ÷ 5) × 65 + 200 = $5,400, the same month as the day example.
A worked example
Use day mode with 4 appointments per day, an average ticket of $65, 20 days worked, and $200 of extras. Appointment revenue is 4 × 20 × $65 = $5,200. Monthly revenue is $5,200 + $200 = $5,400. Daily revenue is $5,400 ÷ 20 = $270. Annual revenue is $5,400 × 12 = $64,800. The example button loads these inputs. The $5,400 is revenue, not profit. It does not subtract polish, rent, fees, or your pay.
How to read the result
The large figure is monthly revenue, the money clients pay in this plan. Daily revenue divides that same month by the days you worked. Annual revenue repeats the month 12 times, so it is a pace, and a slow month will not match it. The lines under the totals split appointment revenue from extras. All of these figures are revenue, not profit. A higher daily number from fewer days worked does not mean the month brought in more money.
Tips for reading monthly revenue
- Use a typical day or week. Counting only your busiest Saturday will overstate the month if that pace is not every working day.
- Put retail and other non-ticket income in extras once. If that money is already inside the average ticket, leave it out of extras.
- Days per week is the length of the week you counted. A 4-day week and a 6-day week scale to the month differently.
- Compare this revenue with your costs before you decide the month pays enough. This page does not subtract those costs.
