Inside the normal range
Your margin is 10%
A typical day spa runs 6–16% after the owner is paid, and the strongest run about 15%.
The math
- $461,000 revenue − $414,900 costs = $46,100 profit
- $46,100 ÷ $461,000 = 10%
Getting to 15% would be $23,050 more a year — $1,921 a month — on the revenue you already have.
