Your takings turned into a real hourly wage, after rent, product, tax, the Medicare levy and every hour of admin.
A weekly amount to move into a tax account, worked out from your own numbers, so the money for the BAS, income tax and PAYG instalments is sitting there when the bill comes.

Menu Pricing + Price Rise + Team Scorecard + Afford to Hire + Chair Rental vs Employ + GST and Tax Set-Aside + P&L Checker + Public Holiday Pay + Colour Cost
Every tool a salon owner needs to run the place on the numbers: pricing, your team, hiring, rent a chair, tax, your P&L and public holidays.
Every person on the team measured against the target for their role, with what to say to each of them.
What your accountant's P&L is actually telling you, and which line to fix first.
What another stylist or assistant really costs, how busy they need to be to pay their way, and the cash you need while their book fills.
Renter or employee for this chair: what each earns the salon, and the rent that actually covers it.
What opening on a public holiday really costs against closing, with the award's 250% counted, and the surcharge that makes it worth it.
Price a new install off packs or grams, hours and your real landed cost of hair, then hand the client a clean quote.
Price move-ups by the row, removals and refits too, so upkeep pays the same hourly rate as the install.
Install Quote + Move-Up Pricing + Overseas Hair Order
Quote installs and price upkeep from your cost per gram and your time, whoever you buy hair from, and see what an overseas hair order really lands at.
What a pack from an overseas supplier really costs in Australian dollars, once the exchange rate, bank fee, shipping, GST and the border charges are in.
Each treatment costed with the room, the device, the consumables and the therapist's time, then priced to make your margin.
What each session in a course or membership really earns after the discount and the sessions nobody uses, and how much of the cash up front you still owe in treatments.
Treatment Pricing + Packages and Memberships
Price every treatment off what it really costs, then build courses and memberships that still pay once the discount is in.
Every cut, fade, beard trim and shave on your menu costed line by line, with the price it has to be to make your margin.
Barber Hourly Rate + Cuts a Day + Barber Menu Pricing + GST and Tax Set-Aside
The four numbers a barber needs: what an hour really pays you now, how many cuts a day it takes to earn what you want, what every cut, fade and beard trim should cost, and what to put aside for your BAS and tax each week.
The pay you want, turned into how many cuts a day it takes, after the chair, your costs, GST, tax and super.
For barbers who work for themselves: your cuts, fades and beard trims turned into a real hourly wage, after rent or travel, product, tax, the Medicare levy and every hour spent sweeping up or waiting on walk-ins.
Rent the chair to a barber or put one on wages: what each earns the shop, and the rent that actually covers the chair.
Every barber measured against the target for their role, from apprentice to head barber, with what to say to each of them.
Rent a chair, home studio or mobile. Your column's full, but you're not sure the money is.

Every tool opens filled in with a realistic Australian business, so you can see how it works before you type a thing.
Sensible starting points for margins, wage share and utilisation, plus a state picker where the state matters. Yours to edit, because your salon isn't average.
Not just a number. What it means, what to do first, and what it's worth in dollars.
Print a clean report or save a copy of your numbers. Come back when rent, the award or prices move.
An online calculator that opens in your browser on any phone, tablet or computer. You type in your numbers, it works out the answer and tells you what to do about it. You can save a clean report as a PDF, keep named versions of your figures in your browser, or download a copy to move them to another device.
No. You pay once. No subscription, no renewal, no upsell to get the answer. Your tools keep working for as long as we run them online. If we ever close the site or retire a tool, we'll email you at least 60 days first so you can download your figures, and if it's within 24 months of your purchase you get a refund for the unused months (or, when we retire one tool, another tool of the same price or more if you'd rather). See the terms.
Every Australian calculator on the site the day you buy it, for one price, including later updates to them. Tools added later aren't included. If you'd use eleven or more single tools, it's the cheapest way in. If you only need the core set, the Salon Kit is less.
It opens for you the day it goes on sale, with nothing more to pay. If it isn't on sale within 6 months of the day you bought the kit, or we decide not to release it, we'll email you and you choose: a refund of that tool's share of what you paid, or another of our Australian tools of the same price or more. See the terms.
The tool opens straight away on the device you paid on, and an access link is emailed to the address you paid with for your other devices. Either way, that device stays signed in for six months.
The six months is only the sign-in, not the purchase. You pay once, with no subscription. When a device signs out, signing back in is free: enter your email on My tools and a fresh link comes by email. You never buy a tool twice.
Go to My tools, type in the email you paid with, and a fresh link is on its way within a few minutes. You can do that as often as you like.
Yes, if they work in the same business. Each purchase is a licence for one business: you and your own team can use it for that business. Please don't forward your access link to anyone outside it. A different business needs its own purchase. See the terms.
Not for a change of mind: your access arrives as soon as your payment clears, and each tool's page offers a free worked sample (for your email) so you can see what you get first. If a tool doesn't work the way its page says, or you've paid and can't get in, email us and we'll fix it, sort out your access or refund you. That promise covers any problem that shows up within 24 months of buying (or for as long as we run the tool, if that's longer), and claiming costs you nothing. It's on top of your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, which our terms don't limit. How to claim is in the terms.
Prices are in Australian dollars, paid once. The Numbers Room isn't registered for Australian GST, so no GST is charged, there's nothing to claim back, and the price shown is the whole price. Your card is charged in Australian dollars, so there's no currency conversion. (Because we're based outside Australia, some banks add their own overseas transaction fee; check with yours if that matters.)
Yes. Built for Australia from the ground up: GST at 10%, the Hair and Beauty Industry Award, super, leave loading, penalty rates, public holidays by state, Australian income tax and the Medicare levy. When we update an Australian rate, it changes in every tool for every buyer at once. We check the rates against the official sources, usually around 1 July; the date they were last checked is at the bottom of every tool.
Not sure which one fits, or whether it handles the way you run things in your state? Send a quick message and you'll get a straight answer.
