Free mobile detailing price increase calculator
See how much work a price increase could lose before the math goes backward.
A higher ticket does not require every customer to stay. Test an owner-entered retention scenario against revenue and job-level contribution before changing a package price.

Directional result
This scenario keeps more monthly contribution than today.
Contribution break-evenKeep 85.3% of current jobs
At these inputs, about 25.6 monthly jobs preserve today's contribution. That means roughly 4.4 jobs could fall away before contribution declines, assuming direct cost per job and fixed overhead stay unchanged.
This calculator does not predict customer behavior, demand, bookings, or profit. It compares two owner-entered scenarios before fixed overhead and tax. Nothing entered here is saved or sent.
Use the threshold carefully
The calculator finds break-even. It cannot tell you who will stay.
Detailers repeatedly ask how to raise prices without upsetting loyal customers. Current industry guidance emphasizes clear scope and value. Owner discussions often suggest staged changes or treating new and existing customers differently. The missing number is often the retention threshold: how much work the higher contribution per job can replace.
Before acting, confirm that your proposed package clears its cost floor and that the local services you compare are actually similar. A low public price for a thinner package is not evidence that your increase is wrong.
