In the details below, “ticket” means the entered price, “retained” means revenue after booking and payment fees, and “fixed cash” means continuing monthly bills. The tool subtracts each trip’s costs, then divides the monthly bills by the money each completed trip leaves. It rounds the trips needed up to a whole trip and the estimated trips completed down to a whole trip.
Entered receipts = base ticket × ticket units × (1 − discount) + add-ons; ticket units are 1 for whole-boat pricing or capacity × guest utilization for per-seat pricing. Tax-inclusive receipts divide by (1 + tax rate) to obtain service revenue. Pass-through treatment adds the tax to checkout and excludes it from service revenue. The selected percentage-fee base controls whether fees also apply to the remitted tax. Retained revenue subtracts the entered channel fee and only separately charged processing. Contribution subtracts one fuel calculation and other trip costs. Cash break-even = fixed cash ÷ positive contribution, rounded up; the owner view adds the entered owner target.
Completed departures = floor((business days − closed days − separate downtime) × departures/day × booking rate × (1 − remaining cancellations)). Required price divides the trip costs plus allocated fixed/owner cash and fixed processing by percentage retention, then adjusts for discount and add-ons. A full discount or fees consuming all revenue can leave no determinate ticket.
Forecasts are assumptions. The tool does not verify legal seasons, safe conditions, actual demand, taxes, asset depreciation or all repair risks. Retest month-by-month timing and deposit obligations separately.
