Your studio results
Profit = class revenue minus instructor pay and monthly fixed costs. Does not include retail, GST, or other income.
How to interpret your results
- Monthly profit above $0 means your current occupancy covers instructor pay and fixed costs on this model.
- Break-even occupancy is how full your classes need to be, on average, to cover those costs. Above it, each extra booking is mostly margin.
- Empty spots per week is unused reformer capacity you could fill without adding another class to the timetable.

FAQ
Questions about the calculator
How is monthly revenue calculated?
Reformers × occupancy × classes per week × average revenue per booking × weeks open per year, divided by 12. That gives an average month based on your timetable and open weeks.
What does break-even occupancy mean?
The average fill rate at which class revenue covers instructor pay plus your monthly fixed costs. Below it, the studio loses money on this model. Above it, each extra booking is mostly margin.
Why is 100% occupancy unrealistic?
No-shows, late cancellations, and quieter off-peak classes mean most Reformer studios sit around 60-75% on average. The scenario table shows what moving toward the top of that range could be worth.
Does this include GST, memberships, or retail?
No. Use average revenue per booking as what you actually keep per attended class (a blended pack or membership rate is fine). Retail, intro offers, and other income are not included.
How do I try different occupancy or class numbers?
Change the seven inputs at the top - results update instantly. The growth table shows fixed examples at 65%, 75%, 85%, and 100% occupancy based on those inputs. The green insight box estimates what filling one or two more reformers per class could add.
How do I improve occupancy without adding classes?
Waitlists, SMS for last-minute spots, and capping class size to your reformer count all help fill existing capacity. See how CoreBookings supports Pilates studios.
