Before the market,
do the small math.
How many sales make the booth fee worthwhile? Replace the example below with your own estimates.
What these numbers tell you
The calculator subtracts the cost and fees of an average item from its selling price. That leaves the amount each sale contributes toward fixed event costs. It rounds up the number of items needed to cover those costs.
The second target adds your hours multiplied by the hourly target you choose. It shows what would cover the event and that target for your time. Neither result predicts how many people will buy.
Use the right inputs
- Enter prices excluding sales tax.
- Use a realistic average for the mix of items you expect to sell.
- A $0.30 transaction fee across two items is $0.15 per item. Adjust for your own payment mix.
- Count labor in either item costs or the separate time target to avoid counting it twice.
- Unsold inventory, taxes, and costs you haven’t entered can make cash flow and take-home income different.
