The Event P&L Check
Don't subsidize your attendees. Know your break-even number before you sell the first ticket.
How it works
Enter your total fixed costs (venue, AV, speakers, marketing).
Enter your variable cost per attendee (food, drink, swag, fees).
Enter your expected number of attendees.
Adjust the ticket price slider to see profit/loss in real-time.
The tool shows your break-even price and visualizes the gap.
Why it matters
Most events lose money because they ignore variable costs. You calculate the venue rental, but forget that every additional attendee costs you $15 in catering and stripe fees. This tool forces you to look at the 'Per Head' economics. If your ticket price is lower than your Break Even Number, you are paying people to attend your event.
The Math
Total Cost = Fixed Costs + (Variable Cost × Attendees)
Break Even Price = Total Cost / Attendees
Total Revenue = Ticket Price × Attendees
Profit/Loss = Total Revenue - Total Cost
