Use one accounting basis

Confirm treatment with your accountant. This tool does not decide GST credits, convert mixed figures or calculate tax. If commission is charged on a different amount, enter its correct base explicitly.

Order and channel costs
On the selected accounting basis.
Enter only the amount borne by your venue.
Actual contract rate; zero if none.
Use the contract basis: before/after discounts or another specified amount. Convert to the same accounting basis first.
Fixed platform/payment charges not already included.
Direct cost of this order.
Containers and other order consumables.
Extra employer cost caused by the order. Do not allocate fixed labour here if included in overheads.
Expected cost not already netted from revenue or direct costs.
Use the same period for overheads.
Only costs not already counted above. State shared-cost allocation assumptions separately.
Method and limitations

Use current supplier invoices, payroll information and signed fee terms. Costs and fees vary by venue and agreement. Contribution is revenue remaining after the direct costs entered. It is not net profit, available cash or a tax calculation. Review wider overheads and capacity before committing.
