Enter your numbers and press Calculate.
How it works
The minimum per guest is your total cost divided by guests — never charge below it. The recommended per guest applies your target margin, so you profit after every cost. Increase the margin for premium events and decrease it to win competitive work.
Assumptions
- Enter costs you actually incur, including your own labour.
