How to read the results
What the numbers actually mean.
01
Profit ≠ cash flow
Even if profit is positive, you still pay deposits months before tickets sell. That gap is what event financing solves.
02
Break-even tells the truth
If break-even is more than 80% of your projected attendance, your margin of safety is thin. Reduce cost or grow audience before commit.
03
Sponsorship is the swing
For most mid-to-large events, sponsorship + F&B + merch turn a thin ticket-only margin into a healthy total margin. Run those numbers separately.
Common questions
Frequently asked.
How accurate is this calculator?
It gives you a ballpark on ticket revenue against fixed costs — useful for a first-look feasibility check. It does NOT include variable cost per attendee (F&B, security per head), sponsorship revenue, merch margins, or platform fees. For a full pro-forma, run your scenario through Creator OS Financial Dashboard or talk to our underwriting team.
Should I include sponsorship revenue in expected income?
Not in this calculator — it isolates ticket-only economics. In reality, sponsorship can be 30–60% of total event revenue for mid-size and large events. To estimate sponsorship potential, look at last year's peer events and benchmark your audience demographics against theirs.
What's a healthy profit margin for live events?
Music festivals and concerts in the Philippines typically run 8–15% net margin on ticket revenue alone. Brand activations and corporate events run 20–35%. Below 5%, you're running a labor-of-love event; above 25% on tickets, you're probably underspending on production or marketing.
How should I think about marketing budget?
For a ticketed event in the Philippines, a useful rule of thumb is 8–15% of projected ticket revenue spent on marketing. Lower if you have an organic community; higher for first-time events with no existing audience.
Can I save or share my scenario?
Not yet — this is an MVP. Tweet us @experiaPH if you want a feature like saving scenarios or comparing variants. If we hear it from enough organizers, we'll ship it.
What if my event makes a projected loss?
Three levers: (1) increase average ticket price (raise VIP tiers or add a higher-value tier), (2) scale attendance projections only if your marketing actually supports them, (3) reduce production cost — usually venue or talent is the swing factor. Experia Finance can also cover working capital so you don't self-fund.
