Pricing & Margin Calculator
Are your prices actually profitable?
Enter up to 10 services with your current prices, product cost and duration. The calculator shows your gross margin in real time — colour coded so you can see at a glance what's working and what's quietly costing you money.
Your hourly labour rate
Base hourly rate ($/hr)
Loaded rate (+25% entitlements)
$47.50/hr
The loaded rate adds 25% to your base wage to account for superannuation, annual leave, personal leave, and leave loading — the true cost of a rostered hour.
≥ 65% — Healthy
55–65% — Borderline
< 55% — Below target

Seeing services below 55%?
Underpriced services don't show up on your P&L as a problem — they show up as a missing profit. A full pricing audit fixes this across your entire menu.
