Salon Treatment Pricing Calculator

Start with the cost: consumables, plus labour (hourly rate ÷ 60 × duration), plus a share of overhead. With that known, pick your margin and compute price = cost / (1 − margin). Rp60,000 of cost at a 40% margin gives Rp100,000. Only then compare against local market rates.

There's no single figure, but services generally support higher margins than reselling goods because the main input is skill and time, not stock. Many salons work in the 40-60% range. What matters isn't the percentage but whether it covers all your fixed costs and still leaves profit once the month's treatments are sold.

Ordinary salon work — cuts, facials, nails — generally isn't subject to regional service tax. But spa, massage, and reflexology fall under PBJT per UU 1/2022 (HKPD), at rates set by each region's Perda, which vary considerably. The tax field here defaults to 0 and you fill it in. Confirm with your Bapenda or local Perda rather than relying on any calculator.

Convert the kapster's cost to an hourly figure, divide by 60, multiply by duration. For a monthly salary, divide by productive working hours — not total opening hours, since quiet spells exist. If the kapster is on commission, that commission per treatment is the labour cost and can go straight in.

That's a signal to examine your cost structure, not to start selling at a loss. Possibilities: overhead is heavy for your current volume, treatments run long, or materials could come cheaper elsewhere. Another real possibility: your competitor is losing money without realising. Market price is a signal, not a basis.
