Material Cost per Appointment Calculator for Facial Harmonization

Gloves, gauze, antiseptic and a needle seem small, but they repeat in every appointment. Anyone who does not add these items up usually charges less than needed without realizing it. The calculator adds up the disposables for one appointment and projects the spend over the month and the year.

What does each field mean?
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Gloves and mask | Cost of the pair of gloves and the mask used in the appointment. |
| Antiseptic and gauze | The proportional share of the bottle and the gauze used. |
| Needles or cannulas | The cost of the single-use items for the appointment. |
| Topical anesthetic | The amount used per patient. |
| Drape, bib and disposables | Sterile drape, bib, sheet, disposable towel. |
| Other items | Tape, bandage, tissue, any other item. |
| Appointments per month | How many patients you see. |
| Average ticket | To see the weight of disposables against the price. |
How is it calculated?
- Disposables per appointment = sum of the six items.
- Per month = disposables per appointment × appointments per month.
- Per year = monthly amount × 12.
- Share of the ticket = disposables per appointment ÷ average ticket.
Worked hypothetical example
Hypothetical example: R$ 4.00 for gloves, R$ 6.00 for antiseptic and gauze, R$ 15.00 for a needle, R$ 8.00 for topical anesthetic, R$ 5.00 for a drape and R$ 4.00 for other items. That is 60 appointments per month with a ticket of R$ 1,500.00.
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Per appointment | 4 + 6 + 15 + 8 + 5 + 4 | R$ 42.00 |
| Per month | 42 × 60 | R$ 2,520.00 |
| Per year | 2,520 × 12 | R$ 30,240.00 |
| Share of the ticket | 42 ÷ 1,500 | 2.8% |
How do I use the result?
Add the per-appointment amount to the product cost in the price per ml and margin calculator and to the cost of your hour in clinical hour value. The result makes up the price floor in the minimum price per procedure calculator.
If you share materials with another practitioner in a partnership, see the commission calculator, which deducts materials from the base.
Frequently asked questions
What goes into the material cost per appointment?
Everything discarded or consumed with each patient: gloves, mask, antiseptic, gauze, needles or cannulas, topical anesthetic, drapes and other items.
Does the injectable product go into this calculation?
No. It is usually the biggest cost and has its own calculation, per ml, with waste taken into account.
Why does adding up pennies of disposables matter?
Because they repeat in every appointment. Tens of reais per patient become thousands per year and need to be built into the price.
