Calculate the operating cost per surgery per day.
This includes everything except lab costs, material costs or
associate, therapist, hygienist fees and your personal drawings.
Divide that total annual operating cost by the number
of surgery days you are able to offer to
the public each year.
Add a percentage profit to that number, representing
the cash you need to generate from the room
after the fee-earner, lab and materials have been paid
- but to generate some profit for you.
