How a show settlement works

A settlement is just the math of what a gig actually paid. Start with the deal — a flat guarantee, a percentage of the door, the greater of the two, or a guarantee plus a door cut. Add what you cleared on merch, subtract the real costs of getting there and back, and what's left is your take-home. Then, if you're in a band, you split it: pay back whoever fronted gas or strings off the top, and divide the rest evenly or by agreed shares.

What's a fair door split?

For local shows, 70/30 to 80/20 in the band's favor is common once the venue covers its costs; touring support often takes a smaller guarantee. This tool just does the math — plug in whatever you negotiated.

Should merch count toward the split?

That's the band's call. This calculator rolls merch profit into the take-home by default; if someone keeps their own merch money, leave merch out and split only the show pay.

Does any of this get saved?

No — everything runs in your browser and nothing is stored. The PDF is generated locally. If you want every show's settlement to add up over a season, that's what Pierre is for.

One show is a calculator. A season is a spreadsheet you'll lose.
Pierre keeps each show's deal, costs, and merch on the show record — your whole season in one place instead of a dozen settlement texts.
