Salon break-even calculator

Estimate the monthly sales and appointments needed to cover fixed and service costs.

Monthly fixed costsRent, guaranteed payroll, software, insurance, debt, and owner needs included in the model.

Variable cost rateProducts, variable pay, payment fees, and other costs that rise with revenue.

Average collected ticketUse collected revenue per completed transaction under the same definition.

Open days per monthUsed to show the daily revenue requirement.

What this result means

Break-even is not the same as a healthy profit or adequate owner compensation unless those amounts are included.

Taxes, debt principal, capital replacement, seasonality, refunds, and cash timing can require separate planning.

Use collected revenue and completed appointments consistently.

Break-even revenue = fixed costs ÷ (1 − variable cost rate).Formula version static-v1

Use the result as a scenario, not a promise

Change one assumption at a time, compare the result with actual records, and save the definition used. The calculator does not know the business’s taxes, contracts, local rules, demand, or data quality.
