What is the minimum price of a session?
Rent, salaries, usable hours and occupancy: work out the break-even price and what you need to charge at 60%, 70% and 80% of a full diary.
A sum that changes a decision, not just a number
Enter monthly fixed costs, diary hours and expected occupancy. The maths runs in your browser: no sign-up and no patient data. The result is the session price that covers costs; below it, a full slot can still leave the clinic losing money.
To cover costs at that occupancy, each session should cost at least:

This calculator uses figures you type in. Domeralia shows occupancy, no-shows and billing from the live diary, so you can adjust prices and gaps with each week's data.
See clinic managementWhy session price is not just “what the clinic next door charges”
Copying the neighbourhood rate ignores rent, the real cost of who treats, and how many diary hours fill. A clinic at 55% occupancy needs a different price from one at 85% in the same premises.
Variable cost per session — product in aesthetics, materials in physio — adds to the break-even price. If you skip it, a 10-session pack can look profitable and not be.
This sum does not replace an accountant. It tells you whether you are below the threshold before you cut prices or hire another clinician.
Frequently asked questions
What is the break-even price?
It is the amount per session that covers fixed costs (spread across the sessions actually delivered at that occupancy) plus the variable cost of that visit. Above it, margin starts; below it, a filled slot does not cover the structure.
Are usable hours the same as opening hours?
No. They are hours when a clinician and a room are available to treat. Breaks, admin and structural gaps are not capacity.
