Illustrative example inputs
These starting values show how the math works. They are not industry averages, customer results or a quote.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
Selected revenue before reward Consistent recorded business-event scope, not a deposit treated as earned revenue. | $500.00 |
Selected variable costs before reward Applicable fulfillment costs under your stated method. | $260.00 |
Fulfilled fixed reward Subtract once, not again from already discounted revenue. | $40.00 |
Completed qualifying sales with fulfilled rewards Actual business event under the reviewed offer, not clinical eligibility. | 12 |
Selected program expenses for this group Actual same-period plan/admin costs; this example is not a BlueFinch fee. | $60.00 |
Example results
| Measure | Result |
|---|---|
Contribution before reward Before the reward and other excluded costs. | $240.00 |
Contribution after reward Keeps negative per-sale results visible. | $200.00 |
Group contribution after selected expenses Selected contribution, not additional profit or a clinical outcome. | $2,340.00 |
Calculation detail
| Measure | Result |
|---|---|
| Total modeled fulfilled rewards | $480.00 |
| Selected expense per rewarded sale | $5.00 |
| After-reward contribution share | 40% |
Model assumptions
- Use one defined reward and revenue/cost boundary.
- Review clinical and advertising scope outside this numeric scenario.
- Count actual qualifying fulfilled rewards, not expected future visits.
- Selected contribution is not net profit or proof of additional demand.
Read alongside these results
- No offer, credit, appointment or clinical decision is created.
- Zero fulfilled rewards retain selected group expenses but have no per-sale allocation.
- Rewarded sales are not automatically additional sales caused by loyalty.

Cost the reward before advertising the offer. Check contribution on the qualifying sale, including the expense of fulfilling the credit. Keep this business calculation separate from clinical decisions about service suitability, frequency and expected outcomes. A financially affordable reward does not answer whether a proposed treatment is appropriate for someone.
The worksheet contains fictional revenue and costs for one defined reward. Replace them with the amounts for the selected offer and source records. The calculator creates no offer or credit and predicts no additional treatment purchases. It keeps reward costs visible without recommending procedures or approving a promotion for publication.

Define the qualifying business event
Record what qualifies for the reward, who receives it and when fulfillment occurs. Review exclusions, expiration and duplicate-redemption handling in the actual terms. Keep a reward earned, a credit approved and a discount applied as separate events. A scheduled consultation does not establish a completed qualifying sale or fulfilled reward.
Have the responsible reviewers assess the actual clinical, privacy and advertising scope before publication. An incentive should not determine treatment suitability or imply an unsupported return schedule. Review the full advertisement, including its images and qualifications. Do not rely on the financial calculator to approve claims or patient-level eligibility decisions.
Use one consistent revenue and cost boundary
Enter revenue before the modeled reward and variable costs under one consistent method. Include applicable fulfillment costs without duplicating the same expense as overhead. A deposit or prepaid purchase is not necessarily earned revenue for a completed service. Select the business event first, then use the source amounts belonging to it.
The SBA's break-even guidance separates price, variable costs and fixed expenses. This tool models selected contribution, not net profit or complete accounting income. Keep refunds, taxes and excluded costs in their proper review. A positive displayed result establishes neither additional demand nor a desirable clinical outcome for the customer.

Read the fictional reward contribution
The fictional example has $500 revenue, $260 variable costs and a $40 reward. Contribution before the reward is $240. Subtract the reward once to leave $200. Twelve fulfilled rewards model $480 in reward costs. After $60 selected program expenses, group contribution is $2,340. These figures are not BlueFinch pricing or med-spa margins.
Selected program expense is $5 per rewarded sale in this example. After-reward contribution is 40 percent of entered revenue. At zero rewarded sales, the $60 expense still produces a negative group result, while per-sale allocation is unavailable. Keep losses visible instead of labeling an unaffordable reward as savings.
Review what the offer actually promises
The FTC's health-products guidance addresses express and implied health-related advertising claims and supporting evidence. A reward advertisement should not add an unsupported result promise or imply frequent purchases are clinically appropriate for everyone. The responsible reviewer needs the whole presentation, including images, recipient qualifications and relevant limitations on the offer.
Track fulfilled rewards against the actual invoice or program record. Rewarded revenue is not automatically new revenue created by loyalty. Someone might have purchased without the offer. Keep a later campaign comparison separate from this cost scenario, and leave private clinical information outside the public worksheet and its downloaded file.

Confirm the actual loyalty service before launch
BlueFinch's loyalty service is an optional paid add-on requiring plan acceptance, activation and applicable message allowances. Customer permission and channel readiness still apply. Texting needs the relevant registration process. Confirm available functionality and integration scope without assuming every clinical platform connects or every message is included without limits.
Download the scenario for the owner and offer review. Replace the fictional amounts with selected source costs, inspect the qualifying-work rule and reconcile fulfilled credits. Keep actual redemption evidence beside the terms. Use the calculation for the business decision while leaving treatment decisions and health claims to their qualified process.
