How the Profit Leak Calculator works
The calculator uses only the monthly totals you enter. It does not infer industry benchmarks or promise a financial result.
2. Realized revenue
completed appointments × average service ticket
Tips are excluded because they are not operating revenue for this planning model.
3. Break-even and target ticket
total monthly operating costs ÷ completed appointments
break-even ticket ÷ (1 − selected target margin)
4. Estimated monthly leakage
no-show revenue at risk + positive underpricing gap
The underpricing gap is never negative. A price above the selected target does not offset no-show risk.
What this model does not include
- Service-by-service coat and behavior complexity
- Tax, depreciation, debt, or owner distributions
- Discounts, retail sales, tips, or product margins
- Unused capacity from reasons other than no-shows
- State labor rules or worker classification
- Local demand or competitor pricing
