running costs for a Holistic Reflexology practice are dominated by payroll and rent, totaling approximately $17,700 per month in the first year (2026) With high fixed overhead, the business is projected to run an initial monthly loss of about $4,917 (EBITDA 1Y of -$59,000) This high fixed cost structure means achieving profitability requires hitting the projected 12 daily visits in 2027, leading to a break-even point in February 2027 (Month 14) Your primary financial lever is managing the $11,458 monthly payroll and ensuring the $3,500 monthly studio rent generates enough utilization
