Frequently asked questions

Does the calculator work in GBP and USD?

Yes. Switch currency at the top. Amounts are treated as equal units — it does not convert FX live.

Is this a quote for my band?

No. It is a cost-up starting point. You still set the fee the room will pay. Use it so you are not pricing from fear.
