More than a spreadsheet. Less faff than a course.

  1. Sample numbers to start

    Every tool opens filled in with a realistic NZ business, so you can see how it works before you type a thing.

  2. Targets you can change

    Sensible starting points for margins, wage share and utilisation. Yours to edit, because your salon isn't average.

  3. Plain-English actions

    Not just a number. What it means, what to do first, and what it's worth in dollars.

  4. Save, print, repeat

    Print a clean report or save a copy of your numbers. Come back when rent, wages or prices move.

Before you buy

Quick answers

What exactly do I get?

An online calculator that opens in your browser on any phone, tablet or computer. You type in your numbers, it works out the answer and tells you what to do about it. You can save a clean report as a PDF or back up your figures.

What is the AI Starter Kit?

A guide and a library of ready-to-copy prompts that set AI up to know your business: client messages, rosters, socials, price rise letters and more. It opens in your browser through the same emailed access link as the tools, and sits on your My tools page alongside them. See what is inside.

Is it really a one-off payment?

Yes. You pay once and it's yours to use for as long as the site runs. No subscription, no renewal, no upsell to get the answer.

What is the difference between the Whole Toolkit and the Lifetime Pass?

The Whole Toolkit is every calculator on the site the day you buy it. The Lifetime Pass is every calculator and the AI Starter Kit, plus every new tool we add after you buy, for as long as the site runs. New tools turn up on your My tools page on their own. Services like the audit, Build Days and monthly reports aren't included.

How do I get it after I pay?

An access link is emailed to the address you paid with, usually inside a minute. Click it and your tools open on that device, which then stays signed in for six months.

I've lost my link, or I want to use another device.

Go to My tools, type in the email you paid with, and a fresh link arrives in seconds. You can do that as often as you like.

Can my manager or business partner use it too?

Yes, if they work in the same business. Each purchase is a licence for one business: you and your own team can use it for that business. Please don't forward your access link to anyone outside it. A different business needs its own purchase. See the terms.

Do you offer refunds?

No, all sales are final. Your access arrives as soon as your payment clears, and each tool's page shows a worked sample, so you can see what you get before you buy. If a tool doesn't work the way its page says, or you've paid and can't get in, email me and I'll fix it or sort out your access. See the terms.

Is the price GST inclusive?

There's no GST in it. The Numbers Room isn't GST registered yet, so no GST is charged and there's nothing to claim back. The price in New Zealand dollars is the whole price.
