Why online coaching needs a different calculation

With personal training, you sell hours. With online coaching, you sell an ongoing service: a plan that adapts each week, check-ins, feedback, and support between workouts. The cost is not one hour in the gym, but your weekly time per client. That is why online pricing starts with capacity: how many clients you can coach properly and how much you need to earn. This calculator works out both numbers from your own inputs.

Common questions

How many clients can an online coach handle?

It depends on the scope of the service. With one hour per client each week and a forty-hour working week, the ceiling is around thirty clients, and realistically fewer once other work is included. Coaches offering intensive support often stop at ten to fifteen.

How much should I charge for online coaching each month?

Start with capacity and your income target, not a hunch. Divide your target income plus costs by the number of clients you can coach properly. Intensive coaching usually needs a higher price than trainers first expect.

Why should I not derive my online price from an hourly rate?

Because you are selling a different product. The client is not buying hours, but ongoing guidance: a plan, oversight, and timely responses. We explain the distinction in our article about common pricing mistakes.

What if the calculator says I am overloaded?

You have two levers: raise the price and coach fewer clients, or reduce the scope of the service, for example by offering a fortnightly check-in on a lower tier. Both are legitimate choices. Your positioning and demand determine which one fits.

Capacity, time, and price have to work together.

The model turns weekly work into monthly economics. It first calculates time per client and the capacity ceiling, then works out revenue, profit, and the price needed for your target.

01

Time per client

We add planning, check-in review, and ongoing support. That time is multiplied by active clients, then other weekly work is added.

02

Capacity ceiling

Other work is removed from your maximum working week. The remaining hours are divided by time per client and rounded down.

03

Profit and target price

Costs are subtracted from revenue. The target price covers your desired income and costs at the current client count.
