Dogs a groomer can do per day.
Enter the shift, breaks, cleanup time, your size mix and prices. See dogs per day and what that earns.
Dogs per day = (shift minutes - breaks) / (average groom minutes + cleanup), rounded down. An 8-hour shift with a 30-minute break, a 94-minute average dog including cleanup, fits 4 dogs and about $344.

Worked example
An 8-hour shift with a 30-minute break leaves 450 minutes. The mix is 40% small (60 min, $65), 40% medium (90 min, $90) and 20% large (120 min, $120). The average groom is 0.4 x 60 + 0.4 x 90 + 0.2 x 120 = 84 minutes; with 10 minutes of cleanup that is 94 minutes a dog. 450 / 94 = 4.79, so 4 dogs fit. The average price is $86, so a day is 4 x $86 = $344, a 5-day week $1,720 and 50 weeks $86,000.
How it works
Dogs per day = floor(available minutes / (average groom minutes + cleanup)). Available minutes are the shift minus breaks. The average groom is weighted by your size mix.
Revenue assumes every dog pays your average price for the mix. It is a planning figure: real days vary with coat condition, difficult dogs and no-shows, and it does not include tips, add-ons or the groomer's costs.
If you work with a bather or a second groomer, run the tool once per person.

FAQ
Why round down to whole dogs?
A dog you cannot finish before closing is not a booked dog. The decimal shows how close you are to fitting one more.
What should I put for cleanup time?
Time between dogs to wipe down the table, reset tools and write notes. Measure a few days and use your average.
How do I fit another dog in?
Look at the leftover minutes. Shaving cleanup or breaking up a long large-dog groom changes the answer more than rushing small dogs.
