Salon Revenue Calculator
Project monthly and annual salon revenue from chairs, service volume, average ticket, and retail sales.
About this calculator
This calculator projects salon revenue from chair capacity, utilization, and ticket size using a fixed 4.33 weeks-per-month factor. Effective chairs equals total chairs multiplied by Chair Occupancy Rate as a percentage (line 6). Daily services multiplies effective chairs by Services per Chair per Day (line 7), daily service revenue multiplies that count by Average Service Ticket (line 8), and weekly service revenue scales by Days Open per Week (line 9). Monthly Service Revenue applies the 4.33 multiplier to the weekly figure (line 10). Retail is modeled as a straight percentage of service revenue — Monthly Retail Revenue equals service revenue times Retail Sales percent divided by one hundred — and Monthly Total Revenue sums service and retail (lines 12-13).
Annual Revenue multiplies the monthly total by twelve (line 14). Monthly Services counts total appointments the same way as service revenue but without the ticket price (line 16). Revenue per Chair divides monthly total revenue by chair count with a minimum divisor of one, using nominal chairs rather than effective occupied chairs (line 37). The occupancy chart varies utilization from forty to one hundred percent but does not model seasonality, discounts, or walk-in variance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the calculator use 4.33 for monthly revenue instead of four weeks?
Monthly Service Revenue multiplies weekly service revenue by 4.33 (line 10), and Monthly Services uses the same factor on daily appointment volume (line 16). That constant approximates average weeks per calendar month rather than assuming exactly four, which keeps monthly and annual projections aligned when Annual Revenue multiplies the monthly total by twelve (line 14).
How does Retail Sales percent relate to service revenue?
Monthly Retail Revenue is computed as Monthly Service Revenue times Retail Sales percent divided by one hundred (line 12). Monthly Total Revenue then adds retail on top of service revenue (line 13). Retail never feeds back into the service volume or appointment count — it is a pure add-on percentage applied after service revenue is calculated.
Why might Revenue per Chair differ from what each occupied station actually generates?
Revenue per Chair divides Monthly Total Revenue by the nominal chair count, not by effective occupied chairs (line 37). Occupancy reduces volume through effective chairs earlier in the chain (lines 6-7), but the per-chair figure spreads total revenue across every station you entered, whether or not it was filled on average.
Does Retail Sales percent change Monthly Service Revenue or Monthly Services?
No. Monthly Service Revenue and Monthly Services are built entirely from chairs, occupancy, services per chair, ticket size, and days open (lines 6-10, 16). Retail Sales percent only enters when computing Monthly Retail Revenue and therefore Monthly Total Revenue and Annual Revenue (lines 12-14).
