We've just added a free massage price calculator to the website, particularly for therapists who are self-employed or thinking about working independently.
One of the hardest things about setting your prices is knowing whether you're actually earning enough once all the expenses are taken into account.
Room rental, insurance, laundry, oils, travel and those gaps between appointments can make quite a difference.
Our calculator lets you enter your expenses, how many treatments you expect to provide each week and what you'd like to earn. It then works out an estimated minimum price per treatment.

We've also published a guide to massage prices in London if you're comparing rates.
It would be interesting to hear what everyone thinks.
Have you worked out your actual costs per treatment, or do you mostly base your prices on what other therapists in your area charge?
And if you've recently increased your prices, how did your regular clients react?

I've been putting off working this out properly, so the calculator came at a good time. At the spa the rates are set for us, but if I go part-time self-employed I'm wary of picking a number that "sounds right" for central London and then finding room hire, insurance and quiet slots wipe half of it out.
I haven't run my own costs yet. Mostly I've just been comparing what other therapists charge. Has anyone used the calculator and found their real floor was higher than they expected?
