- keeps that if 1 in 5 of your billable hours goes unbooked.
The formula, with your numbers
Each price is rounded up to the next whole dollar.
What it assumes
- Every billable hour you set gets booked. The top of the range allows for 1 in 5 going unbooked.
- Your monthly costs and pay are shared evenly across those hours.
- Taxes aren't included, so set your pay before tax.
- It comes from your own numbers. It isn't a market price, so compare it with what clients in your area pay.

Questions, answered.
How do I price nail art?
Price it as an add-on, from the extra minutes and supplies it takes. Enter those on their own to see what to add.
Should a fill cost less than a full set?
When it takes less time and product, yes. Enter its own minutes and supplies to see how much less.
Is this what nail techs near me charge?
No. It's the price your own numbers need, not a market price. Compare it with what clients in your area pay, then decide.
