How much discount should I offer on packages?

Package discounts typically range from 5-15% off the combined individual prices. 10% is the most common salon package discount. Avoid discounting more than 20% as this significantly erodes margins. The discount should be enough to incentivise the package purchase without making the client feel the individual prices are inflated.

What services work well in packages?

Common salon packages: cut + colour + treatment, cut + blow dry + conditioning, bride and bridesmaids packages, colour correction packages (multiple visits), seasonal packages (summer hair prep), and maintenance packages (monthly visit plans). Combine a popular service with an add-on the client might not normally try.

Do packages actually increase revenue?

Yes, when done correctly. Packages increase the average transaction value (client spends more per visit), encourage clients to try services they would not normally book separately, improve retention (commitment to return), and provide more predictable revenue. The small discount is offset by increased spend and loyalty.

How do I ensure packages stay profitable?

Always calculate the total cost of delivering all services in the package. Ensure the package price is at least 15-20% above total cost. Never discount below cost. Track which packages sell and their actual profitability. Adjust or retire packages that do not maintain target margins.

How We Calculate This

This calculator creates a service package by combining individual service prices, applying a discount and checking that the result maintains your target profit margin.

The formula

Full price = Sum of all individual service prices

Package price = Full price x (1 - Discount %)

Profit margin = (Package price - Total cost) / Package price x 100
