How the math works

Base facial sets the floor

Costs, time, processing fees, and target hourly profit produce a defensible price for the facial itself. Add-ons can't fix a broken base price.

Add-ons stack time, cost, and price

Each add-on contributes minutes, product cost, and an upcharge. The calculator returns incremental profit and hourly so you can see which add-ons pull their weight.

Bundled view checks the booked hour

When clients book the base + add-ons, the effective hourly should still hit your target. If it dips, the add-on price or time is off.

Verdict flags pricing drift

Underpriced means the booked hour is below 70% of your target. Premium means you're 30% above — fine if the experience matches.

Target hourly profit

Base facial profit is about $101.50 at an effective hourly near $81/hr. Bundled with the LED finish, total time is 90 minutes, bundled price is $145, and bundled profit is about $124.30 at an effective hourly near $83/hr. The add-on holds the hourly target while the facial scales.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I charge for a facial?

It depends on your costs, time, and target hourly profit — not on competitor menus. Use the base facial inputs to get a defensible minimum and target price. A solo provider with $15 in costs, a 75-minute booked hour, and an $80/hr target typically lands somewhere between $130 and $155.

How should I price facial add-ons?

Each add-on should hit at least your target hourly profit on its own time. If LED takes 15 extra minutes and your target is $80/hr, the add-on should earn at least $20 of profit after product cost. The calculator returns incremental hourly so you can spot under-priced add-ons.

Should I bundle add-ons or sell them separately?

Both work — but they should both clear your hourly target. Bundling is easier for clients; separate menu items capture upgrade revenue from clients who choose. The calculator's bundled view tells you whether the bundled price still hits target.

What's the difference between this and the pricing calculator?

The general pricing calculator is for any service. This one is shaped around facial workflow — a base service with stacked add-ons — and returns both base and bundled profitability so you can model real menu items.

Are my inputs saved anywhere?

No. Calculations run in your browser. Create a free account to save facial pricing scenarios and download PDF reports — nothing leaves your browser otherwise.

How often should I revisit facial pricing?

Every 6–12 months at minimum, and sooner if backbar costs, rent, or processing fees change. Re-run the bundled view whenever you adjust an add-on.
