Startup cost calculator
How much it costs to open a pilates studio, from your own quotes
Enter the quotes and estimates you have. The calculator shows the total you need to open, the breakdown, and how many months it takes to pay back based on your expected revenue and costs.
No account or email needed. The numbers you enter stay in your browser and are not sent anywhere. This is a planning calculation, not legal, tax or financial advice.
How it is calculated
Machines = number of machines × price per machineDeposit = monthly rent × months of depositCost buffer = monthly costs × buffer monthsTotal = machines + fit-out + deposit + other + bufferPayback = total / (monthly revenue minus monthly costs), rounded up
Reading the result
- The amounts are your own quotes, not market data. Enter them in your own currency.
- The cost buffer is money set aside to cover costs until your client base builds up. Revenue in the first months is usually below plan.
- Sales tax, loan interest, permit fees and hiring costs need to be considered separately. Not legal, tax or financial advice.
How this works in Corenta
- Corenta does not keep your startup budget. It runs bookings, class packs, payments and instructor pay.
- At the end of the month you see payments taken and balances due, and export reports as CSV.
- Plans and prices are on the pricing page.

How much money do I need to open a pilates studio?
It varies a lot by city, space and number of machines. The calculator adds up your own quotes; remember to include a buffer for the first months.
How do I estimate reformer studio startup costs?
Enter the number of reformers and the price per machine, then add fit-out and rent. The number of reformers sets both your startup cost and your group class capacity.
Is a pilates studio profitable?
It depends on your prices, occupancy and costs. If expected monthly revenue is below monthly costs, the calculator shows no payback. Try different class pack prices with the class pack price calculator.
