Colour Cost & Profit Calculator
You measure your colour in grams. Start measuring what those grams cost.
Bleach, developer, gloss, toners and treatments. Enter what you pay, how much you mix and what you charge. Find out what your colour services really cost before wages and overheads eat into the rest.
- What the colour in one appointment costs: every bowl, every gram of colour, lightener, toner and developer, from what you pay and the pack size
- How much of the price goes on product, what is left after it, and the exact figure to type into your menu pricing
- What the whole service makes once time, wages, consumables, wastage and running costs are in, and the price that makes your target margin
- Saved recipes for short, long and thick hair, with what each cost the day you saved it beside what it costs at today's prices
