Extension Install Quote Calculator

Price a new install off packs or grams, hours and your real landed cost of hair, then hand the client a clean quote.

  • Your landed cost of hair by the pack or by the gram once shipping and GST are in (and wastage, by the gram), then a hair price and a fitting price that pay for the hair, your time and the consult
  • Cut, colour, toner and blow dry as their own lines, priced off your hourly rate or your menu
  • A client quote with every line, the GST and the hair deposit, ready to print, save as a PDF or paste into a message

See how it gets there

Pop your email in and the full sample opens: the real tool on the same made-up numbers, plus a rough Try it you can play with.

Your email opens the sample. I never sell your address or give it to anyone for their own marketing.

How it works

Your numbers in. A decision out.

  1. Buy it

    Pay once by card. The tool opens straight away on the device you paid on, and a link for your other devices lands in your inbox.

  2. Type in your numbers

    It opens with sample numbers so you can see how it works. Type over them with yours.

  3. Read the answer

    Green, amber or red against targets you can change, with what to do about it in plain English.

  4. Run it again

    Rent goes up, the award rates move on 1 July, you hire. Open it and re-run, as often as you like.

Have these handy

What you'll need

  • What you pay per pack and the pack weight, from your supplier's tax invoice
  • Packs or grams, and hours, for a typical install
  • Your hourly rate target

Good guesses are fine for a first run. You can tighten them later and the answer updates as you type.

Built for here

Australian rules, already in

  • GST at 10% worked in for you, with the $75,000 registration line
  • This year's award rates, super, income tax and the Medicare levy, wherever the tool needs them
  • Annual leave and leave loading, personal leave, public holidays by state and weekend penalty rates counted in any wage it works out
  • Card fees counted on what clients pay

When a rate changes, we update it once and every buyer gets it. See the rates we use.

Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or laptop, with nothing to install. Your numbers are saved on that device, so they're there next time you open it.
Do I have to keep paying?
No. You pay once. No subscription, no renewal, and when Australian rates change we update the tool for you. 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, and within 24 months of your purchase you get a refund for the unused months (or, if we retire just that tool, another of the same price or more if you'd rather). See the terms. The device you buy on stays signed in for six months; after that, enter your email on My tools and a fresh link arrives in seconds. You never buy a tool twice.
What if I don't know a figure?
It opens with sample numbers, so type over the ones you know and leave the rest for now. A good guess is fine for a first run. The answer updates as you type, so tighten the guesses whenever you find the real figures.
Better together
