How the numbers are worked out

Haircuts per year equals 52.18 weeks divided by the weeks between cuts. That rate is multiplied by your remaining years, from your age to your life expectancy, to get the haircuts left, and by the years since your starting age for the haircuts so far. Cost and time multiply the remaining count by your price and minutes per visit.

Scalp hair grows about half an inch, or around 1.25 centimeters, per month, which is about 15 centimeters a year, so the growth figure assumes that average. Real growth varies with genetics, age and health. Life expectancy is an average too, so treat the results as a fun estimate.

Haircuts left calculator FAQ

What life expectancy should I use?

Global life expectancy is around 73 years and many developed countries are near 80. Use whatever feels right; it is only an estimate.

Do home haircuts count?

Yes. Set the price to zero if you cut your own hair, and the count still works.

How fast does hair really grow?

On average about 1 to 1.5 cm per month, which is roughly half an inch.

Why does "since age" matter?

It sets when regular haircuts started, which only affects the haircuts-so-far figure.

Is my data saved?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser.
