How to use Tour Pay Calc

Build your roster

Start by adding each person on your tour to the roster. Click "Add Person" in the dark Roster section at the top of the calculator.

For each person, fill in:

• Name — e.g., "Alex" or "MD"
• Role — e.g., "Guitarist", "FOH Engineer", "Tour Manager"
• Show Rate — their base rate per show day in dollars

Select a person to view

Once you've added your team members, click the eye icon on any roster row to select that person. The calculator below will update to show their individual rates and running totals.

You can switch between team members at any time — each person's day counts are saved independently.

Enter day counts

With a person selected, use the + and − buttons in each row to set the number of days for each category:

• Show Days — standard shows, double shows, travel/show combos, production days
• Travel Days — domestic and international
• Weekly / Monthly — for longer-term deals

Add additional fees

In the Additional Fees section, enter any expenses that apply:

• Per Diem — enter a daily rate and the number of days
• Ground Transportation — fixed amount per trip
• Flights — enter a price per ticket and the number of tickets
• Hotels — enter a nightly rate and the number of nights

Use the checkboxes on the right to include or exclude any line item from the total.

Read the Grand Total

The dark card at the bottom shows the Grand Total — the complete compensation cost across your entire roster.

It breaks down into:

• Musician / Crew Fees — the sum of all day-rate calculations for everyone on the roster
• Additional Fees — per diem, travel, and accommodation expenses
