How it is built
Hours: chair minutes plus turnover. Overhead: monthly overhead divided by the booked hours in a month (hours open times 52 over 12, times the booked share), charged by the hour each appointment takes.
No-shows: a no-show pays only the deposit and uses no supplies, but the hour is still lost. Profit is what you collect, less card fees, supplies and overhead; it is before your own tax and before paying yourself.
Price for target: the price at which profit per hour equals your target. The test suite checks it for hundreds of random studios: charging that price earns the target to the cent. Client lifetime: the set plus the expected number of fills, where each visit is followed by another with your rebooking probability, up to your cap.
Common questions
How much should I charge for a full set of lash extensions?
Start from your own numbers, not the neighbourhood average: the chair hours the set takes including turnover, supplies, card fees, no-show loss and a share of the studio overhead, plus the hourly you want to take home. The price that covers all of it is the price to charge. This calculator solves for it service by service.
Are lash fills worth doing at a low price?
Fills are the repeat business, but they are also the shortest, cheapest appointments, so a fill priced to look friendly often earns the least per hour. Enter your fill price and rebooking rate to see whether the client's lifetime, set plus expected fills, still reaches your target hourly.
How do I work out overhead per hour for a lash studio?
Add rent or booth fees, insurance, software, utilities and recurring costs for a month, then divide by the hours you are actually booked: hours open per week times 52 divided by 12, times the share of those hours that are booked. A studio booked 70% of the time carries a third more overhead per booked hour than one booked 100%.
How low can a new-client promotion go?
Low enough that the client's lifetime still earns your target hourly, assuming they rebook at the rate you enter. The tool shows that floor. If your fills already earn less than your target, no set discount is safe.

Is this business or tax advice?
No. It is arithmetic on the numbers you type. Your tax, licensing and insurance position depends on where you work; check with an accountant or your state board.
