Assumptions and fee sources
One-event average-order model. Enter weighted effective card fees if some orders are cash. Include your time once in fixed or variable costs. Nonpositive contribution cannot cover positive event costs. Unsold stock and cash-flow timing are not modeled.
All monetary fields must use one currency. Results are contribution under entered assumptions, not audited net profit or a guaranteed payout.
