How Much Can a Salon Owner Make?

Free calculator tool to help project how much revenue you can generate as either an independent hair stylist or the owner of the salon!

With our salon sales calculator you can easily calculate how much revenue a stylist can generate per week.  The calculator will also work well for calculating revenue potential per nail technician or barber.  You will be able to enter in assumptions like:

  • Number of hours worked per day per stylist
  • Days worked per week
  • Prices for various services like a cut and color or pedicure
  • Average time it takes to complete each service
  • What percentage of appointments are for each type of service

Based on these assumptions, our calculator will forecast the weekly income per stylist.  

You can see how the template works in the video demo below:

The template I used was GREAT! I wasn't sure how it would be for the money, but the value for my purchase was extremely worth it. I spent forever looking for suitable templates online, and nothing held a candle to the level of detail and ease of use of this template. I actually contacted Adam at ProjectionHub for help deciding on which template I needed because there were so many options and my client wanted to do something kind of unique, and Adam got back to me very quickly and offered to help me make any adjustments to the template to better fit my client's needs. My client was blown away by the impressive detail and I looked like a pro thanks to this template. I will be buying more in the future for all of my projection needs!
