Workshop Cost Calculator
Plan profitability before you list a walk, workshop, tour or meetup. Build the real cost of running a day, set your ticket prices, and watch profit, margin and break-even update instantly, so you never run an event that quietly loses money.
What it does
Four event types
Cost a Walk, Workshop, Tour or Meetup: the labels and sections adapt to each, and every tab keeps its own numbers.
Every cost, covered
Per-person lines (single room or twin share), fixed one-off expenses, and host costs split across however many hosts you run.
Live profit & break-even
Total cost, revenue, profit, margin, profit-per-head and the break-even average ticket, all recalculating as you type.
Track payments
Log deposits and part-payments per participant and watch Total received vs Outstanding against your projected revenue, net of fees, so you always know who still owes what.
Saved plans that follow you
Save, duplicate and switch between plans, or export and import them as JSON. In the Hub they save to your account and sync across your devices; the standalone keeps them in your browser.
Private by design
In the Hub your plans are end-to-end encrypted in your browser before they're saved, so only you can read them, not even us. Prefer to keep them off our servers entirely? Turn off account sync in the plans menu and use JSON export/import to move plans between devices.
Share & report
Send a plan to a co-host with “Share link”, or grab a full written breakdown with “Copy breakdown”.
Colour themes
Recolour the whole calculator (Amber, Ocean, Forest or Graphite) to match your brand.
A look inside
Watch it work: the summary recalculates as you plan, the cost sections you fill in, payment tracking, saved plans, and themes to match your brand.
