About this product

For salon owners AND stylists: one workbook that answers both sides of the chair-rent question with live math.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Salon owners setting booth rents and watching per-chair profit
• Stylists comparing a commission offer against a booth-rent lease BEFORE signing

HONEST NOTES

• Every figure comes from YOUR inputs — the sample salon and stylists are fictional examples, not earnings claims.
• This is a planning aid, not financial or legal advice.
• Weeks per month uses 52/12; edit any assumption to match your reality.

What's included

• 6-sheet Excel workbook (native formulas, zero macros — works in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice)
• Owner Model: per-chair weekly rent and days booked turn into monthly rent collected, owner profit, profit per occupied chair — plus a vacancy scenario showing the exact profit swing if chairs go empty
• Stylist Model: commission vs booth-rent compared side by side across 3 scenarios (part-time / full-time / senior) — with a VERDICT line that tells you which model pays more and by how much, computed live from your inputs
• Break-Even Analysis: minimum clients per week each model needs, the ticket price each client count requires, and the chairs-rented count that covers all salon overhead
• Live Dashboard of the headline numbers
• Quick-Start Guide PDF (owner workflow + stylist pre-signing workflow)
• Fictional sample data throughout so you can see every calculation working

Key features

• Owner model → per-chair weekly rent and days booked become monthly rent collected, owner profit, and profit per occupied chair
• Vacancy scenario → shows the exact profit swing if chairs go empty (QA sample: profit falls from $1,129.52 to $167.94 with one chair vacant)
• Live VERDICT line → commission vs booth rent across 3 scenarios; sample verdicts: part-time COMMISSION pays $90 more, full-time BOOTH RENT pays $2,307 more, senior BOOTH RENT pays $6,210 more — and QA variants proved the verdict flips in both directions when inputs change
• Break-even analysis → minimum clients per week per model, the ticket price each client count requires, and the chairs-rented count that covers all salon overhead (QA sample: 5 chairs)
• Live dashboard → the headline numbers from both models in one view
• QA-verified → 167/167 checks passed against an independent Python model + LibreOffice recalc, 0 error cells
