What this tool does and does not include
- The starting numbers are examples only. Replace them with your own.
- Simplified estimates for a BC society or registered charity. They leave out many real-life details such as your bylaws, funding agreements, accounting policies and the exact CRA and provincial forms.
- Rates and rules change. Confirm them with the firm or the government before you act.
- Information only. This is not tax, accounting, legal or financial advice.
Good to know
- Count every cost, including the ones that feel free such as donated items you would otherwise have paid for.
- Test a lower turnout. The chart shows how fast net proceeds change.
- Tell guests the receipt amount on the ticket. It is the price less the value of what they get.
