Scenario planning tool

Salon software ROI calculator

Build your own cost and operating scenario. BookB supplies no assumed improvement rate, competitor fee, appointment value, or guaranteed result.

Your assumptions

Compare two software scenarios

Use current written quotes and your own salon records. Leave an uncertain field at zero instead of treating an unknown as a saving.

Current monthly software costInclude the recurring software costs relevant to the comparison.Proposed monthly software costEnter a current written BookB quote or another proposed amount.Monthly completed and missed appointmentsUse your own measured period. No appointment volume is assumed.Average appointment valueUse a value calculated from your own records.Current no-show rate (%)Use your measured rate for the same appointment period.Assumed relative no-show reduction (%)Your scenario assumption only. BookB does not guarantee this change.Current variable software or booking fee (%)Use the effective rate in your current written terms.Proposed variable software or booking fee (%)Use the confirmed proposed rate. Do not assume zero.One-off switching and setup costInclude migration work, training, hardware and internal time where relevant.

Use the result carefully

What this calculator can and cannot tell you

A useful model exposes assumptions. It does not turn them into facts.

Use matched periods

Calculate appointment volume, no-shows and average value from the same representative period. Check seasonal or closure effects.

Verify commercial inputs

Use current subscription, payment, messaging, hardware, setup, support and contract information from each provider.

Keep causation separate

A reminder or workflow change may coincide with an outcome without being its only cause. Test changes and review actual results.

Count internal effort

Migration preparation, configuration, training, duplicate cleanup and reconciliation can be real switching costs.

Model uncertainty

Run conservative, expected and difficult scenarios. If an input is not verified, leave it at zero or mark it outside the model.

Get qualified review

Use appropriate accounting, tax, employment, payment and legal advice. This calculator is an operational planning aid only.
