0. How are you paid?
Independent: revenue minus service expenses supports your desired pay and overhead.
1. Business goals
Annual personal earnings are before taxes. Enter only expenses you personally pay (often $0 overhead or card fees for commission stylists). Avoid double-counting expenses. A booking rate of 75% means you expect to fill 75% of your available appointment hours.
2. Appointment style
This estimates how often a compatible second appointment can be scheduled, not how much time is used when it is. The buffer reserves time for transitions, rinsing and delays.
Single-booking: full appointment duration counts toward the price target.

How pricing works
Commission mode: Your gross commission = service price × your percentage. Subtract only product and other costs you personally pay, plus any card fee you personally pay. Suggested service price = (required hourly earnings × appointment hours + personal service costs) ÷ (commission rate − personal card fee rate). Per-service commission override is optional; blank uses the default. This is a stylist earnings model, NOT salon profit. If the salon pays for products, enter $0.
Full-time target = [(desired hourly contribution × full appointment hours) + service product costs + other variable costs] ÷ (1 − card processing fee). Double-booking scenario substitutes expected occupied time.
With double-booking on, a second scenario calculates usable processing minutes after the buffer and multiplies by the chance that a compatible second client is actually booked. The full appointment price remains your baseline. The scenario is not a guaranteed minimum: scheduling constraints, service mix and downtime matter. Avoid assuming recovered capacity on both clients in a paired appointment. Set expected booked hours realistically to avoid counting the same booking gains twice.
The contribution-per-hour comparison excludes direct variable costs and card fees but is not net profit: fixed overhead and desired pay are covered by the target hourly contribution. All service prices are planning estimates, not market-rate recommendations. Does not model taxes, tips, commission tiers, retail commission, cancellations, mixed-service scheduling, non-billable labor, discounts, assistant staffing, or financing. No guarantee of earnings or customers accepting a price.
