Price Increase Impact Calculator: raise prices, keep more

Thinking about raising your prices but scared clients will leave? Run the numbers. See your new income, and exactly how many clients you could lose and still make the same money on fewer dogs.

The fear that keeps groomers stuck

Raise prices and clients leave. That's the fear. So run the math instead of feeling it, because the math is on your side.

When you raise prices, the clients who stay are paying more, which means you can lose a real chunk of your book and still make the same money on fewer dogs. Same income, fewer hours, less wear on your body.

What the breakeven number means

Your breakeven churn is how much of your book you could lose and still make exactly what you make now. Anyone who leaves under that line, you come out ahead on fewer, easier days. Most groomers lose far less than their breakeven.

And most clients don't leave: people expect prices to climb. What they react to is being surprised. Give notice, keep it simple, don't apologize, and the large majority stay.

Common questions

Most groomers can do 10 to 20% without meaningful loss, especially if it's been a few years. The calculator shows your breakeven so you can see your cushion.
The share of clients you could lose and still make the same money. A 15% raise means you could lose about 13% of your book and break even, on fewer dogs.
The ones who bolt over a fair, well-communicated increase are usually the price-shoppers who cancel and haggle anyway. Losing them is the raise working.
