As a studio owner and educator for over 15 years, I’ve experienced firsthand how hard it is to balance people-first leadership with profit. This simple calculator is designed to provide clarity on one of the biggest pressure points in our businesses: payroll. I hope it gives you the confidence to adjust your pricing, capacity, or systems with purpose.

Why this tool matters

Running an independent studio doesn’t mean you have to settle for thin margins.

  • Calculate if your payroll % is within a healthy range

  • View how your current revenue supports (or squeezes) your margins

  • Provides an important first step to improving your numbers

What you get

  • A plug-and-play calculator

  • Clear benchmarks for what “healthy” payroll looks like

  • A dynamic tool that works whether you’re solo or have a full team

  • A bonus walkthrough guide with next-step questions

Who this is for

  • Studio owners who want to pay their team fairly and stay profitable

  • Teachers transitioning into ownership who need guidelines for calculating hourly pay and owner’s salary

  • Boutique wellness professionals who are ready to make data-driven decisions
