Choose reliable inputs

Include travel, preparation, cleaning and staffed capacity for each booking. For this pet grooming calculation, use booking history, care schedules and cleaning records and a consistent definition of one appointment.

  • Groomer time: include the portion belonging to this appointment or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
  • Consumables: include the portion belonging to this appointment or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
  • Equipment overhead: include the portion belonging to this appointment or reporting period, and record where the value came from.

Use the same currency for every money input. Do not mix weekly costs with monthly revenue, or count the same expense in both an itemised cost and allocated overhead.

Why is booked value higher than collected service revenue?

Excludes cancellation fees and variable costs. Attendance is an entered scenario, not a promise.

Compare a different assumption

What if this input changes?

If booked appointments rises by 10%, this example changes by 720 . This shows the effect of one change; it does not predict what will happen.

Open the calculator, save your baseline, then change the input supported by the least reliable estimate in your records. Compare both scenarios before committing to a price or capacity promise.
