How to Calculate Your Salon's Break-Even Point
Your break-even point is the minimum revenue needed to cover all fixed costs. The formula is: Break-Even Revenue = Fixed Costs ÷ (1 − Variable Cost %).
Fixed costs include rent, payroll, utilities, insurance, and other recurring expenses. Variable costs are expenses that scale with each service — typically product costs at 8–15% of revenue.
For example, a salon with $14,500 in monthly fixed costs and 15% variable costs needs $17,059 in monthly revenue to break even — about 201 services at an $85 average ticket.
Industry data shows the average salon reaches break-even within 12–18 months. Well-planned salons with proper financial tracking can achieve it in 6–9 months.
