What does admin really cost you?

Registers, invoices, reminders, reconciliation — it all comes out of evenings and weekends. Put your own numbers in and see the yearly bill. Nothing is sent anywhere; the maths runs on this page.

Studio admin costs what your hours are worth: admin hours a week × teaching weeks × the value of an hour. Eight hours a week at £35 across 38 teaching weeks is 304 hours and £10,640 a year. LessonLoop is £150 a year on Solo or £390 on School, billed annually — about 4% of that bill.

What software actually costs at your size, on every published pricing model, is in the software cost calculator, the page for a whole school is music school software, and the solo version is music teacher software.

Your numbers, your maths — we just multiply. Nothing here is tracked, stored or emailed.

Where the hours go

The admin LessonLoop takes off your plate.

The calculator shows the size of the problem. This is the part of it that software can actually do for you.

Billing & chasing

Term invoices generate themselves, late fees apply themselves, payments reconcile themselves — and the ledger agrees to the penny.

Registers & rescheduling

One-tap attendance, conflict-checked changes, self-serve parent booking and automatic reminders that cut the no-shows.

The rest, delegated

LoopAssist drafts, chases and answers “how do I…” in plain English — and never acts until you confirm.

Questions

About this calculator.

Where do these numbers come from?
From you. We multiply your admin hours by your teaching weeks and what your time is worth — no hidden benchmarks, no made-up industry averages. Change an input and the answer changes.
Do I have to give you my email?
No. The calculator runs entirely on this page, sends nothing anywhere, and isn’t gated. We’d rather be useful than collect addresses.
Will LessonLoop remove all of that admin?
No tool removes admin entirely, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What it automates is the heavy recurring lines — invoicing, reminders, registers, reconciliation, reports — which for most studios is the bulk of the weekly grind.
Why does the LessonLoop line use the School tier?
The calculator picks the tier from your teacher count: one teacher shows Solo (£150/yr billed annually, or £15 monthly), more than one shows School (£390/yr, or £39 monthly).
