Client Lifetime Value Calculator
One loyal client is worth far more than one appointment. See exactly what each repeat client really represents to your business over 1, 3, 5, and 10 years.
01
What's Your Specialty?
Pick your category to auto-fill realistic numbers, or enter your own. Adjust everything to match your real client patterns.
02
What Does an Average Visit Look Like?
The basics: what one client typically spends with you on a single appointment.
What a typical client pays per visit (before tip)
Products, upgrades, or add-ons (leave 0 if none)
03
How Often Do They Come Back?
Visit frequency drives lifetime value more than ticket size. A $80 client every 3 weeks is worth more than a $200 client twice a year.
Average rebooking interval — lash fills 2–3, color 5–6, massage 4–6
04
How Long Do Loyal Clients Stay?
Industry average is 2–3 years. Top providers retain clients for 5+. This is the single biggest lever on lifetime value.
