How this is calculated
- Cost of goods = expected sales × cost of goods %.
- Card fees = expected sales × share paid by card × card fee %.
- Show costs = booth + application + travel + lodging + other.
- Profit = sales − cost of goods − card fees − show costs.
- Break-even sales = show costs ÷ (1 − cost of goods % − card share × card fee %).
Your time at the booth is not included as a cost here; if you want to pay yourself for show days, add it to "other show costs". Card fees vary by provider — see card payment fees compared. For what shows typically charge, see how much a craft show booth costs.
