How do I calculate weekly salon revenue?

Weekly revenue = (Clients per day x Booking rate x Average price x Working days) + Retail sales. Use realistic numbers — an 80% booking rate means 20% of slots are empty due to gaps, no-shows and cancellations. Include retail product sales which typically add 10-20% to service revenue.

What is a realistic booking rate?

A healthy booking rate for an established stylist is 75-90%. New stylists or new salons may be at 40-60%. 100% booking rate is unrealistic and unsustainable. Account for no-shows (typically 5-10% of bookings), last-minute cancellations and natural gaps in the schedule. Aim to improve booking rate gradually.

How many working weeks should I plan for?

Plan for 48 working weeks per year (52 minus 4 weeks for holidays, bank holidays and sick days). Some planners use 46-50 weeks depending on holiday entitlement. Using 48 gives a realistic annual projection. Do not calculate annual revenue as weekly x 52 — this overestimates significantly.

How can I increase weekly revenue?

Strategies: increase average service price (add value), improve booking rate (reduce gaps and no-shows), add retail sales, introduce add-on services, optimise scheduling to fit more appointments, increase working days, raise prices annually, and focus on higher-value services like colour and treatments.
