Calculator
Gel set price calculator: rent, product and the hours you fill
Put your weekly rent, your product cost per set and the services you honestly fill into one place and read the price floor off the other side.

Free calculators for nail techs, priced and timed on real numbers
Two working calculators for the two questions that decide a nail business: what a set has to cost, and how many hours a tighter rebooking interval would actually take.
Nail pricing goes wrong in a predictable way. Rent is weekly and fixed, product is per set and small, and the hours you fill are the number nobody wants to be honest about. When those three get mixed together in your head, the menu price drifts to whatever the studio down the street charges, which has nothing to do with your bench.
The two calculators here separate those numbers. The first rebuilds a gel price from rent, product and filled services so you can see the price floor before you decide the menu. The second takes the wear time your sets actually achieve and shows what happens to your week if every client rebooked on her own clock instead of drifting.

Rebooking interval calculator for nail studios and booth renters
If every client came back when her set was actually done rather than when she remembered, this shows you the appointments and the chair hours that would create.
Working document
The client nail record card every set should be logged on
One page per client that holds what you applied, how you prepped it, how it wore and when she is due back, so the next appointment starts with facts instead of memory.
Why the nail calculators are open with no sign up
You already do this arithmetic, only in worse conditions. Booth rent divided by the sets you finished, worked out on the back of a supply invoice while a top coat cures. Days between her last fill and this one, counted backward on a phone calendar with acetone still on your fingers. Neither sum needs an account to be correct, so neither one is locked behind a form here.
On their own the two calculators give you a price floor and an interval you can defend at the desk. The first tells you what a gel set has to earn before it has covered your station, your files and bits and your own pay. The second tells you whether closing the gap between the days a set really wears and the day she rebooks would fit inside your chair hours or turn every Saturday into a fourteen hour shift. Both numbers are yours to keep whether or not you ever open PolishBook.
Where these numbers stop being estimates
Both calculators lean on figures most techs have to guess at: product cost per set, the days a set genuinely wears, the interval your clients actually keep. PolishBook records those as you work, because each set logs the gel and prep that went into it and the wear days counted at removal. A demo shows the same arithmetic running off your own bench instead of off a default.
