Tip: For a cautious first estimate, use a lower conversion rate than you hope to achieve. The slower-day scenario below automatically tests 70% of your expected conversion rate.
Profit is before taxes and owner wages. Product cost covers units sold; inventory cost to carry is shown separately. Card transaction share is estimated from card revenue share, assuming equal average basket sizes. Planning estimates only. Actual event traffic, conversion, product mix, fees, taxes, weather and other conditions can materially change results.

Questions before you book
Is VendorWorth only for craft fairs?
No. The planning model can be used for craft fairs, pop-ups, farmers markets, maker markets, and similar vendor events.
Does VendorWorth guarantee that an event will be profitable?
No. Results are estimates based on the assumptions entered. Attendance, weather, customer behavior, product mix, fees, and other conditions can change actual results.
Do I need the paid planner to use the calculator?
No. The calculator is designed to remain useful on its own. The planner is for sellers who want to plan, track, compare, and review events in more detail.
Why track profit per hour?
Two events can produce similar profit while requiring very different amounts of preparation, travel, and selling time. Profit per hour gives you another useful comparison point.
