What other nail techs are saying

This calculator is absolutely amazing! As a nail artist, I found this calculator super helpful and insightful. It's thoughtfully put together and makes it so much easier to understand exactly how your pricing is built. I highly recommend it to any nail artist who wants a clearer picture of their business finances.

MoDwan Nail Room

Typically I find pricing calculators overwhelming and difficult to navigate but I think yours is really simple and easy to understand. If anyone asks me for pricing advice, I'll be happy and confident to recommend your calculator.

AllyAlly's Nail Room

The pricing calculator is honestly genius! As a beginner nail tech, I found pricing and working out my overheads so overwhelming. This calculator breaks everything down so simply and makes it easy to understand what you should actually be charging. Such a game changer!

The part nobody warns you about

Six silent partners take a cut
of every single set you do

Rent Insurance Products Consumables Tax Super

Most nail techs copy the salon down the road, pick a number that feels right, and hope it works out. There's a better way — and it takes about two minutes.

What it actually does

Your real numbers,
worked out properly

Not a template. Not a guess. Punch in your prices and costs, and watch your true profit appear in real time.

Real profit, not revenue

See what's actually left after every cost is stripped out — the number that ends up in your pocket, not just what comes in the door.

Effective hourly rate

Your real hourly rate — not what you charge, but what you take home per hour after every single cost. Most techs are shocked.

Break-even, made obvious

Know exactly how many clients you need each week just to cover your costs — before a single dollar counts as profit.

Tax & super, auto-calculated

Sorted for you using current Australian tax brackets, with a super rate you control. Something most calculators don't even try to do.

Plain-English glossary

Revenue, margin, break-even — explained in nail-tech, not accountant. Built right in, so there's no Googling required.

The moment it clicks

See your real hourly rate

Not what you charge — what you actually take home, after every single cost. It's the number that changes how you price forever.

Business Snapshot

Quick questions

Do I need to be good with numbers?
Not at all. That's the whole point. You type in what you charge and what you spend — the calculator does every calculation, and the built-in glossary explains anything you're unsure about in plain nail-tech English.
Is this just for Australian nail techs?
The tax and super automation uses current Australian brackets, so it's built with Aussie techs in mind. You can still use every other part of it anywhere — just switch the auto-calculate toggle off and enter your own figures.
Is it a subscription?
No. One payment, yours to keep and use as often as you like. Reprice your services any time your costs change.
How do I get it after I pay?
Instant access straight after checkout. It works on your phone or your laptop, so you can run your numbers wherever you are.
What if I already feel busy enough?
Busy and profitable aren't the same thing. Plenty of fully-booked techs are quietly earning less per hour than a casual wage. This shows you the real figure — so you can fix it.
