Beauticians Insurance Online Beauticians Insurance Calculator

Our Beauticians Insurance Calculator helps beauty therapists, nail technicians, salon owners and cosmetic clinics estimate practical insurance levels to protect equipment, fit-out, stock and income. It is important because underinsurance can leave you paying the shortfall after a fire, theft, accidental damage or forced closure, while overestimating can mean paying for cover you do not need. This calculator is a planning tool only and provides general information, not personal advice or a quote.

To get the best result, complete the form from top to bottom.

1. Salon profile: Choose your salon type and premises type, then enter the number of operators and average clients per week. These inputs help the calculator gauge business scale and exposure. Select your GST treatment so totals are shown excluding GST if you can claim input tax credits, or including GST if you cannot. Add a financier only if a lender needs to be noted for insurance purposes.

2. Treatments and exposure: Tick every service you provide, including higher risk items such as laser, skin needling, cosmetic tattooing or injectables. Then select any contract or landlord minimums for Professional Indemnity and Public Liability, because these act as a minimum floor. Declare claims history for the last five years and choose a cautious risk bias if you prefer higher suggested limits.

3. Business assets: Add replacement values for fit-out and furniture, treatment and salon equipment, and electronics, POS and IT. Use today’s replacement cost (new for old where relevant), including installation and freight.

4. Stock and consumables: Enter retail stock and professional stock values, plus optional glass or signage and any critical equipment value you cannot operate without.

5. Business Interruption: Enter annual turnover, gross profit margin, indemnity period in months, and an additional uplift for extra costs of working.

After selecting “Calculate recommended sums and limits”, review the outputs as follows: property sums represent estimated replacement totals; Business Interruption reflects gross profit cover for the chosen indemnity period plus uplift; Professional Indemnity and Public Liability are suggested limits of liability influenced by your services and risk settings. Always compare results to your lease and supplier requirements and read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement before deciding. Consider speaking with a licensed broker to tailor cover to your objectives, financial situation and needs.
