How many students does a martial arts school need to break even?
A school's rent, mats and front desk are fixed. Each student adds a little cost and a monthly fee. Break-even is the number of active students that covers the space.
Break-even point
-
students a month to cover every cost
Profit at today's level
-
per month, before owner pay
Cushion above break-even
-
how many you could lose and still cover costs
The starting numbers are an example for a martial arts school. Replace them with yours.
The worked example
Each student brings in $150 a month and costs $15 to serve. That leaves $135 toward fixed costs of $15,000 a month. Divide one by the other and you need 112 students to break even. Every student past that adds $135 to profit.
Ways to lower break-even in a martial arts school
- Raise retention past the first contract term.
- Fill weekday daytime hours with kids' or adult programs.
- Price testing and gear to cover their full cost.
