Assumptions
What the numbers assume
- Use summary revenue and cost totals, not buyer names, donor private contacts, student data, card details, bank details, or tax IDs.
- For each revenue or cost row, enter either a unit count with its price or cost, or one trusted row total.
- Blank numeric fields count as zero. Negative values are treated as zero and flagged for review.
- The participant or selling-unit count is for a rough per-participant or per-unit result; fractional counts are rounded down.
- This is a planning worksheet. Official accounting, tax decisions, deposits, receipts, and approvals stay in your normal systems.
Formula notes
How the totals are calculated
- An entered revenue row total replaces units sold times price per unit.
- An entered cost row total replaces units times unit cost.
- Percent fee amount is gross revenue times the entered percent fee divided by 100.
- Net profit is gross revenue minus direct costs minus flat and percent-based fees.
- Gross margin is net profit divided by gross revenue when revenue is greater than zero.
