Costs, margins & tax estimates
Margin and break-even tools answer “does this session contribute?” before fixed overheads. Tax helpers here are illustrative only—pair them with your accountant, not as filings.
Contribution per session and break-even session counts are planning maths. They do not replace management accounts or VAT advice.
Use room rental and payroll-ratio tools when comparing associate models or checking whether staffing costs are drifting as a share of revenue.
Focus for this topic
- Keep variable costs truly variable in session margin models.
- Stress-test cash runway separately from profit margin.
- Use the owner take-home planner for drawings sketches—not clinic valuation.
- Treat VAT and self-employed helpers as educational sketches only.
