Labour. Total labour hours = appointment time × number of groomers. Labour cost = total labour hours × your hourly rate.
Base cost. Labour plus products/consumables, travel, and any other direct costs.
Suggested price. Base cost plus your chosen markup. Markup is a percentage added on top of base cost — it is not the same as margin, which is a percentage of the final price.
Breed, weight, and coat type do not change the price on their own. If a groom takes longer or needs more product, you enter that extra time or cost yourself. We do not invent breed or weight pricing.
This is a planning and pricing aid. Use your own costs and rates, and adjust the result to fit the appointment and your business.

Common questions about the dog grooming price calculator
How is the dog grooming price calculated?
Total labour hours is your appointment time multiplied by the number of groomers. That is multiplied by your hourly rate, then products, travel, and other direct costs are added to make the base cost. Your chosen markup is then added on top.
Does the price change by breed, weight, or coat type?
Not automatically. The calculator has no breed, weight, or coat-type pricing. If a groom takes longer or needs more product, you enter that extra time or cost yourself.
Is the markup the same as margin?
No. Markup is a percentage added on top of your base cost. Margin is a percentage of the final price and is calculated differently. The calculator clearly labels its markup step to avoid confusion.
Do I need an account to use the calculator?
No. The calculator works without signup, email, or payment details. You can use it on your phone and print or save the result as a PDF.
