Studio split calculator

Compare a percentage split, chair rent and a day rate on the same week. Change a number and the figures update.

What you keep

Percentage split
£1,200 a week, or £5,200 a month
Chair rent Best for you
£1,700 a week, or £7,367 a month
Day rate
£1,600 a week, or £6,933 a month

Chair rent beats a 40% split once you take more than £750 a week.

Monthly figures are the weekly figure times 52, divided by 12.

What each one means

Percentage split

The studio keeps a share of everything you take. It costs nothing in a quiet week and the most in a busy one.

Chair rent

A fixed weekly fee for your chair, however much you take. You keep the upside and you carry the quiet weeks.

Day rate

You pay for each day you work in the studio, and nothing on the days you do not.

Whether you are self-employed, and what tax you owe on what you keep, is your own position and not something this calculator can settle. Our bookkeeping guide for tattoo artists is a good place to start.
