Split a gig fee between band members in seconds. Take gas, PA hire and the booker's cut off first, give extra shares, see who gets paid what. Free, no sign-up.
- Do you take expenses off before or after splitting gig money?
- Before, almost always. Take shared costs (gas, PA hire, strings, parking) off the top, pay back whoever spent the money, then split what is left. Splitting first and settling up later gives the same totals but means someone has to chase money afterwards. The calculator shows both so the band can agree.
- Should the person who owns the PA get a bigger cut?
- A common fix is to give the PA its own share: four players plus a PA means the money is divided five ways and the owner gets two of them. Others prefer a flat PA hire fee taken off the top. Agree it before the gig, not in the car park.
- How much should the band member who books the gig get?
- Some bands give the booker nothing extra, some a flat fee, and some a percentage (often around 10%) taken off the top like an agent would. Pick one and write it down. The calculator handles a percentage off the top or an extra share.
- What about the sound engineer or a dep?
- If they are paid a fixed amount, add them as a cost so they come off the top. If they are on an equal cut with the band, add them as a member.
- Does this save my numbers?
- Only in this browser, so the page remembers your band next time. Nothing is sent to a server and you do not need an account.
Put in what the gig paid, what it cost to get there and who played. It takes the costs off the top, pays back whoever spent the money, and splits the rest by share - equal, or with an extra share for the PA owner or the one who booked it. The settlement updates as you type.
