A gig payout planner for local bands and house-show hosts
The door. The split. The gas money. Your cut.
Type the offer and Load‑Out Ledger does the arithmetic the band usually does in the van: the ticket count that covers the night, what a packed room pays, and what each of you walks out with.
Break-even
14 tickets
The fewest tickets that pay the sound person and the gas. Below it, you are paying to play.
At 80 sold
up to $125.33
Each member’s cut after the venue’s share, costs and a 10% band fund. Odd cents are shown, never lost.
Sold out, 120
up to $200.93
The ceiling. If a full room still barely pays, the deal is the problem, not the turnout.
Example from the starting numbers below: $12 tickets, 120-capacity room, 70/30 door, $115 costs, 4 members.
The desk
Bring the offer. Leave with a number.
Four channels, top to bottom: the night, the deal, what it costs you, who splits it. For a host running a house show, the “venue or host” share is whatever the room keeps.
- Door split the room keeps a percentage
- Guarantee vs. door whichever is higher
- Flat guarantee the room keeps the whole door
