how many clients would we lose on 10% increase?

hi all, I know its not an exact science however for every 100 clients we raise this year at 10% (let's say average fee is $500 and raised to $550) how many clients should i (would you) anticipate losing due to the fee increase? thanks!

Over $50 increase on a $500 return? None, especially since I tend to bump returns up 5-10% annually.

Now if a $300 return doubled to $600, I anticipate I would lose that client to H&R, Liberty, or some EA that charges a fraction of a CPA. But, given $300 is basically my floor (with only a couple of exceptions), that is a very simple return and I would not anticipate any need to charge more, anyway.

If you were the customer, would you leave or be displeased if there was a 10% increase on a $500 return?

I generally raise 5%

It is not going to be uncommon to see 15-20% increases on tax returns this year as there will be increased analysis to determine facts and additional review time due to the new form format.

I'm providing this guidance to my clients orally.
