About this calculator
Groomers who price by breed chart lose money on every matted double coat. Price by the clock instead: estimate table time, adjust for coat and behavior, then back into a price that hits your hourly target after supplies.

FAQ
How do I charge for matting without a fight?
Post the de-matting rate on the intake form and quote a range at drop-off, then confirm the final number before you start. Surprise surcharges after the fact are what generate reviews, not the fee itself.
Should mobile grooming cost more?
Yes, typically 40–60% more. You are absorbing drive time, fuel, van payment, and water/power, and you serve fewer pets per day.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results are estimates before tax, fees, and inflation unless an input explicitly covers them.
- Rates are treated as fixed for the whole period — variable-rate products will drift from this projection.
- This is educational maths, not financial advice. Check anything contractual with the lender or your accountant.
