We're building the part that can. How it will work. Leave your email and we'll write when it's ready.

How we worked this out

The arithmetic

A booking earns your profit, times how many who come buy, times how many who book come. Take off the share you want to keep. What's left is the most you can pay.

How we checked it

This page runs each example below every time it loads, against the answer we did by hand.

What it leaves out

  • Customers who come back. If yours do, this number is low, so it is the careful one.
  • Your agency fee and your software. Take them off your profit first.
  • Whether the market will sell you bookings at that price.
