Craft Fair Break-Even Planner — First Edition

Try the free craft-fair worked example before you buy.

Know your event costs before committing to a craft fair. Use your own figures to compare sales scenarios, estimate break-even units and review what actually happened afterwards.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

• One XLSX spreadsheet with three worksheets: Planner, Products and Actual results.

• A plain-text START-HERE guide with step-by-step instructions and input definitions.

PLAN WITH YOUR OWN FIGURES

Model up to five products and their expected share of units sold. Include materials, packaging, estimated payment fees, refund reserves and event costs. Compare Cautious, Expected and Strong sales scenarios, with an optional allowance for your time.

AFTER THE EVENT

Record actual receipts, refunds, sold-unit costs, fees, event expenses and hours separately. Compare the event result with the selected forecast. Amber cells identify inputs; formulas and warnings help identify incomplete or invalid entries.

COMPATIBILITY

Tested by importing this XLSX into Google Sheets, changing inputs, checking results, then saving and reopening. A Google account is needed to use Google Sheets. Desktop Microsoft Excel and LibreOffice were not available for testing; their compatibility is not certified. No macros, external links or paid AI subscription are required.

IMPORTANT DETAILS

GBP figures. First edition, with illustrative examples to replace. Break-even assumes your entered sales mix and may be approximate at small unit counts. Results are event contribution estimates, not bank cash-flow reconciliation or accounting profit. Tax, general overhead and unpaid liabilities are excluded. No sales or profit are guaranteed.

Created with AI assistance. £7 one-time digital download: one XLSX and one text guide. No physical item.
