Sauna Session Treatment Cost Estimator

1. Enter session supplies
Add consumables used for one sauna session session.

2. Enter staff time
Include the minutes of paid staff time you want assigned to one completed treatment.

3. Set loaded hourly labor
Use the hourly employment cost appropriate for the staff involved in service delivery.

4. Allocate equipment and overhead
Enter per-session amounts for equipment use and shared operating expenses.

5. Review total and components
Compare the main per-treatment cost with labor, supplies, equipment, and overhead to identify the largest drivers.

Labor cost = (Staff minutes ÷ 60) × Loaded hourly staff cost
Treatment cost = Consumables + Labor cost + Equipment allowance + Allocated overhead

Each input is expressed on a per-treatment basis except staff time and the hourly labor rate. The model does not include membership acquisition cost or profit margin unless you incorporate them into overhead.

What the result means

The main result is the estimated economic cost to deliver one treatment under the entered assumptions.

Use consistent costing rules when comparing multiple wellness services.

Given: One sauna session treatment uses $6 in supplies, requires 20 staff minutes at $27/hour loaded labor, carries a $3 equipment allowance, and receives $7 of overhead.

Calculation: Labor = (20 ÷ 60) × $27 = $9.00. Total = $6 + $9 + $3 + $7 = $25.00.

Result: Estimated treatment cost = $25.00.

This is the modeled resource cost per completed session before markup or target profit.
