How it works

Build a quote that actually covers the gig.

A good quote needs to cover more than the performance itself. Include everybody who needs paying, the costs involved in delivering the event and a margin for your business.

Include yourself

Your own performance or management time has a value. Add yourself to the musician costs even if you are primarily organising the booking.

Remember external costs

Travel, PA hire, lighting, accommodation and other event-specific costs can quickly eat into the fee.

Add a sensible margin

A quote that only covers your direct costs leaves no margin for your business or unexpected problems.

Check the final number

The calculator is a guide. You still need to consider your market, demand and the value of the service you provide.
