About the Barbershop Simulator
Model chairs and cut volume against barber pay and fixed costs to see profit and revenue per chair.
It's built for directional planning: change any assumption and watch the whole projection move, the way a seasoned operator pressure-tests a plan before committing capital. Everything is computed live in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
How the Barbershop Simulator Works
The model takes 5 assumptions and returns 3 headline metrics plus a full breakdown. Here is exactly what goes in and what comes out — no black box.
The Inputs
| Assumption | Example value |
|---|---|
| Chairs | 6 |
| Cuts / chair / day | 10 |
| Price per cut | $30 |
| Barber pay % | 60% |
| Monthly fixed | $8,000 |
Worked Example

The Operator's Read
Chair-rental vs. commission changes the math entirely. Memberships, product retail, and add-ons (beard, hot towel) lift revenue per chair — the number that decides whether the shop scales. Educational only.
Assumptions & Limitations
- •The model is deterministic: it projects your inputs forward with clear arithmetic, not a Monte-Carlo or probabilistic forecast. It shows one scenario at a time — run several to bracket a range.
- •Defaults are illustrative benchmarks, not your business. Replace every field with your real numbers before drawing conclusions.
- •It abstracts away taxes, financing, seasonality, and one-off events unless a field explicitly captures them. Treat the output as a directional estimate.
- •This is an educational tool, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Validate real decisions with a qualified professional.
