Spa Pricing Worksheet

See the current gross margin on one service and the price needed for the target margin you choose. Add the real cost and selling price to fix the math before you change the menu.

Check one spa service price

The worksheet shows the current gross margin and the price required for the target margin you choose. Add the direct cost of one service and its current price to see both results.

Products and supplies

Use the direct product and disposable supply cost for one completed service.

Direct labor cost

Use wages, commissions, or other labor paid for one completed service.

Other variable cost

Include card fees or another cost that follows each completed service.

Current service price

Use the amount normally collected before direct service costs.

Target gross margin

Choose the gross margin you want to test. This is your business target, not an industry recommendation.

Gross margin here is revenue minus the entered service costs, divided by revenue. It is not net profit and it does not include fixed overhead.

What the spa pricing worksheet calculates

The worksheet separates the cost of doing one service from the price charged for it. That gives you the gross profit and gross margin before rent, software, insurance, and other fixed bills.

The target price is not a recommendation. It is the price the math requires for the target margin you entered. You still have to judge demand, position, and the client experience.

Build the service cost before judging the price

Count the products and disposable supplies used during one service.
Add direct wages or commissions tied to that service.
Add card fees or another cost that rises with each completed appointment.

Use the target margin as a business choice

A higher target margin raises the calculated price. If that price does not fit the market, the worksheet shows the real decision: lower direct cost, accept a lower margin, change the service, or remove it from the menu.

Run one service at a time. A menu average can hide a popular service that stays busy while giving very little back to the business.

Questions about the spa pricing worksheet

Does the target price include monthly overhead?

No. The target price uses the direct service costs you enter. Compare the result with the break-even planner to see whether service contribution can cover monthly fixed costs.

What if current gross margin is negative?

The entered service cost is higher than the current price. Check the inputs first, then review the price and the cost of delivering the service.
