01Assumptions & RevenueWorksheet specification
Assumptions & Revenue
Planned purpose: Build sales from a shared pool of completed visits, service-category mix, category prices and ancillary revenue per visit.
Inputs
- Completed visits by day and month
- Haircut, combination, youth and beard-service mix
- Net price by service category
- Retail or other ancillary revenue per visit
Outputs
- Monthly and annual revenue
- Revenue by service category
- Visit, mix and price reconciliation
Limits and completion needs
- Visit volume, service mix and price are scenarios until replaced with booking and POS records.
- Sales tax and pass-through tips remain outside net revenue; refunds and discounts reduce it.
02COGS & OPEXWorksheet specification
COGS & OPEX
Planned purpose: Separate blades, neck strips, disinfectant, laundry, card fees and retail cost from premises, software, insurance and other overhead.
Inputs
- Service consumables and laundry
- Retail product cost
- Card-processing assumptions
- Rent, utilities, insurance, software and maintenance
Outputs
- Sales-linked cost schedule
- Operating-expense schedule
- Contribution and overhead bridge
Limits and completion needs
- Supplier invoices and merchant statements must replace provisional percentages.
- A national asking-rent figure does not establish local occupancy cost.
03PayrollWorksheet specification
Payroll
Planned purpose: Translate a paid working owner-manager, three employee barbers and limited reception or cleaning support into a complete labor budget.
Inputs
- Roles, hours and wage or salary inputs
- Employer payroll-tax and insurance allowances
- Opening and mature staffing levels
- Training, leave and absence coverage
Outputs
- Role-by-role payroll
- Weekly and annual staffing cost
- Payroll share of net sales
Limits and completion needs
- National wage data does not replace local recruiting offers or tip practices.
- Worker status must follow the facts and applicable law rather than the label used in the model.
04Capex & FundingWorksheet specification
Capex & Funding
Planned purpose: Schedule the leasehold work, chairs, stations, wash equipment, tools, deposits, opening costs, reserve and funding sources.
Inputs
- Vendor and contractor bids
- Deposits and authority fees
- Opening inventory and pre-opening payroll
- Debt, equity and working-capital timing
Outputs
- Sources-and-uses schedule
- Opening cash requirement
- Funding gap and cash runway
Limits and completion needs
- The $225,000 case is a planning allocation rather than a quote.
- Debt terms, taxes, project overruns and owner distributions need dated cash inputs.
05Scenarios & Break-evenWorksheet specification
Scenarios & Break-even
Planned purpose: Compare ticket, completed visits, service days, contribution margin, fixed costs, appointment completion and service-time capacity.
Inputs
- Low, base and high visit cases
- Net sales per completed visit
- Contribution margin and fixed costs
- Completion rate and occupied minutes per visit
Outputs
- Break-even sales and completed visits
- Operating surplus or shortfall
- No-show and chair-capacity sensitivities
Limits and completion needs
- A scenario is not a probability or a local demand forecast.
- Visits that exceed staffed chair-hours are not operationally feasible even when the revenue formula accepts them.
06Dashboard & Financial StatementsWorksheet specification
Dashboard & Financial Statements
Planned purpose: Connect the selected operating case to five-year income statement, cash flow, balance sheet, KPI and investment views.
Inputs
- Selected scenario
- Operating and capital assumptions
- Funding and working-capital inputs supplied by the user
Outputs
- Five-year financial statements
- Revenue, margin and cash trends
- Investment and payback indicators
Limits and completion needs
- Outputs inherit every upstream assumption.
- Operating earnings do not establish owner take-home, cash sufficiency, valuation or investment payback.

Assumptions you can change
These are the current inputs behind the business case and the intended starting points for the editable workbook. Range endpoints represent modeled scopes or sensitivities, not measured national averages.
| Driver | Base input | Scenario range / treatment | Role in the calculation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net sales per completed visit | $45.00 | $35.00 – $60.00 | Revenue per sold unit |
| Completed client visits per day | 27 | 16 – 38 | Daily throughput in the stated operating scope |
| Operating days per week | 6 | 5 – 7 | Trading schedule |
| Fixed operating costs / month | $26,000 | Held constant | Operating break-even threshold |
| Contribution margin | 91.0% | Held constant | Share of sales available for fixed costs |
| Starting share of mature volume | 45.0% | Base ramp input | Opening month revenue |
| Mature volume added / month | 2.5% | Base ramp input | Monthly ramp increment, capped at mature volume |
| Ramp horizon | 24 months | Base ramp input | Period checked for operating break-even |
The opening budget and annual expense inputs also need local quotes and staffing estimates. This page shows fixed examples; the free calculator lets you change price, volume and trading days.
Try the free business-case calculator →Volume-only operating sensitivity
| Scenario | Daily units | Monthly revenue | Break-even revenue | First operating break-even |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower volume | 16 | $18,706 | $28,571 | Not reached |
| Base volume | 27 | $31,566 | $28,571 | Month 20 |
| Higher volume | 38 | $44,426 | $28,571 | Month 9 |
Only completed client visits per day changes. Net sales per completed visit: $45.00; 6 operating days per week. Fixed costs and contribution margin stay constant. “Not reached” means no operating break-even within the 24-month ramp. This sensitivity is separate from the annual forecast and does not measure cash payback.
Sample outputs from the current case
These results are calculated from the website’s illustrative assumptions. They demonstrate intended workbook topics, not a tested Excel file.
Where the opening budget goes
One-time budget: $225,000. This allocation is not a cumulative cash-flow forecast.
Year 3 costs and EBITDA
Against annual revenue of $379,080.
EBITDA margin: 8.7%. EBITDA is not cash available to the owner.
Volume needed to break even
- Required whole units per day
- 25
- Break-even revenue / month
- $28,571
- Base revenue / month at maturity
- $31,566
- First operating break-even
- Month 20
Units mean completed client visits per day. The ramp covers 24 months; operating break-even does not measure recovery of opening capital.
Compare the volume sensitivities ↑The annual forecast and fixed-cost sensitivity are separate planning views. The website does not yet supply a complete funding, debt, tax and working-capital schedule for a cumulative cash-flow or payback chart. Read the full input basis and limitations.
Annual forecast and calculator comparison
The annual forecast and calculator use separate scenarios. Their revenue ramp or cost allocations differ, as shown below. The calculator's break-even month does not reconcile the annual forecast.
| Check | Annual forecast | Calculator inputs |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 revenue | $212,811 | $222,538 |
| Year 1 operating result | −$68,470 | −$109,490 |
| Year 3 / mature annual operating result | $32,963 | $32,697 |
Calculator figures use the original first 12 months and mature monthly result × 12; sliders do not change this comparison. Neither column measures cash flow or payback. Input basis.

Questions before buying
Can I buy or download this now?
Use the purchase button to buy the Barbershop Financial Model for $109 through Shopify. This is a one-time price in USD before any applicable taxes.
What do the online previews show?
The online preview explains Assumptions & Revenue, COGS & OPEX, Payroll, Capex & Funding, Scenarios & Break-even, Dashboard & Financial Statements using this website's illustrative case. It is separate from the downloadable Excel model.
Are these previews pages from a finished file?
The web previews are rendered from the website's case record. They illustrate planning concepts and calculations; they are not screenshots or a page-by-page inventory of the downloadable product.
What would I need to change for my business?
Review net sales per completed visit, completed client visits per day, the operating schedule, opening budget and costs. These web previews do not edit a workbook. Test the website's price and volume assumptions in the business idea page's calculator.
Is the written business plan included?
The Financial Model is sold separately. The $168 Bundle adds the $59 Business Plan and $109 Financial Model for the same business to one cart, one of each.
Do the figures establish what my business will earn?
No. The figures describe an illustrative U.S. operating case, not measured industry averages or a prediction for your location. EBITDA is not owner cash, and operating break-even does not recover the opening investment. Check local costs, capacity and demand before using the assumptions.
