Craft show calculators

Break-even, hourly pay and a worth-it check. Free, and no account needed.

Three questions come up before every booth fee: how much do I have to sell, what did I actually make for the hours I put in, and is this show worth my weekend. Fill in your own numbers below. Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere.

Booth fee break-even

How much do you have to sell just to get even on a booth? Counts the fee, your other costs for the day, and what the products themselves cost you.

Booth fee ($)

Gas, parking, food and other costs ($)

Cost of what you sell (% of each sale)

If you pay $7 in materials for a $20 item, that is 35%.

Your average sale ($)

Turns the answer into a number of sales.

Enter the booth fee to see how much you need to sell.

What you really made per hour

Sales look good until you count the hours. This takes out the booth fee and your costs, then spreads what is left over every hour you worked, including setup and the drive.
