  • Spa Value = SDE × Industry Multiple (2.0×–3.5×)
  • Roughly 0.4×–0.8× of annual revenue as a cross-check
  • Membership revenue and therapist retention push value toward the top

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a day spa worth?

Most day spas sell for 2.0–3.5× SDE (seller's discretionary earnings), or roughly 0.4–0.8× annual revenue. A typical day spa is worth $400K–$1.5M, with value driven by membership revenue, therapist retention, and clean financials.

What increases a day spa's valuation?

A day spa's valuation rises with strong EBITDA margins, recurring membership revenue, high client retention, a transferable therapist team, and clean financials. These push the SDE multiple toward the top of the 2.0–3.5× range.
