I stopped underpricing touch-ups once I could separate my consumables, labour, and profit clearly for each appointment.

How to use this Brows & PMU Calculator
Use this calculator to price a brows or PMU service based on your supplies, time, overhead, profit, and take-home.
If you are new, start with your best estimate and refine the numbers later.
- Choose a service: Select a preset service or add your own custom service.
- Enter your supplies cost: Add the cost for one client, or use the optional supplies panel to estimate it item by item.
- Add your overhead: Enter the overhead for one service, or use the overhead panel to convert monthly business costs into a per-client amount.
- Set your time and hourly rate: This lets the calculator include what you want to earn for your labour.
- Choose your markup and calculate: Start with 15% to 20% if you are unsure, or 20% to 30% for premium or time-heavy services. Then press Calculate Service.
- Review your result: Check your recommended price, profit, take-home, and cost breakdown, then adjust until it fits your market and income goals.
💡 Tip: If you do not know your exact costs yet, start with rough numbers first. A rough price is still better than guessing with no system.
What Brow & PMU Pros Are Saying
Quick notes from brow artists and PMU professionals using price and profit breakdowns to tighten their menu and protect margins.
The calculator helped me turn pigments, blades, numbing, and setup time into a price that finally made sense for PMU services.
Seeing hourly earnings changed how I price annual color boosts. Some short appointments looked profitable until I saw the real take-home.
The overhead panel made it easier to build studio rent, booking software, PPE, and sanitation into my brow pricing.
I use it whenever I test a new service menu. It keeps my intro pricing grounded in real costs instead of copying competitors.
The split between business profit and take-home was the biggest fix for me. Now I price better for both the service and my paycheck.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the calculator figure out my service price?
It adds up four things: Your supply cost (products used) Your labour cost (your time your hourly rate) Your overhead (the small business expenses behind every service) Your profit margin (your earnings on top of your costs) Then it gives you a recommended price based on all of that.
How to price microblading services?
To price microblading, add your per-client supplies, overhead per appointment, and your labour cost based on time, then add a profit/markup. If you include a touch-up in the package, build the extra time and supplies into the total price.
How much profit should a PMU artist make per client?
A good target is a profit that still pays you well per hour after supplies, overhead, and labour are covered. Many PMU artists aim for healthy profit margins rather than a fixed dollar amount; use a calculator to see profit and take-home per client and adjust pricing until it meets your goal.
How to price touch-ups correctly?
Touch-ups still require prep, setup, pigment, numbing, and disposables. Price them based on the actual time and supplies used, and if a touch-up is included within a certain window, bake that cost into the original service price.
What supplies should be included in PMU pricing?
Include pigments, needles/cartridges or blades, numbing products, skin prep, mapping supplies, aftercare, and disposables like gloves, barrier film, pigment caps/rings, swabs, wipes, and wraps. Add any single-use sanitation items used per client.
Is microblading still profitable?
Microblading can still be profitable when pricing covers your time, supplies, overhead, and the cost of any included touch-ups. Track your profit per hour and adjust your service price, timing, and supply costs to keep margins healthy.
