FAQ
How does the band gig payout split calculator work?
Door money and guarantee minus sound, transport, and manager cut, split across members plus merch profit.

8 values: guarantee, door split to band, tickets sold, ticket price, sound, gas, lodging, manager cut, merch profit, and band members. Each field starts with a sensible default, so you can change one number at a time and watch the result move.

Is this calculator free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it's free, and no account is required. Nothing you type is stored on our servers — the maths runs entirely in your browser.
How accurate is the result?
It applies the standard formula exactly, so the arithmetic is precise. Results are estimates before tax, fees, and inflation unless an input explicitly covers them.
Who is this tool for?
It's built for anyone comparing money scenarios before committing — budgeting a payment, sanity-checking a quote, or seeing what a change in rate or term actually costs.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results are estimates before tax, fees, and inflation unless an input explicitly covers them.
- Rates are treated as fixed for the whole period — variable-rate products will drift from this projection.
- This is educational maths, not financial advice. Check anything contractual with the lender or your accountant.
