No-show calculator

Put in how many people booked and came to your last few events. It works out your show rate and how many places that suggests for the next.

How it works

The sums, in words

  • Your show rate is the people who came divided by the people who booked.

  • Places to offer is the seats in the room divided by your show rate, rounded down.

  • It uses only your figures. It is arithmetic, not a forecast, and a full room is not promised.

The guide

Pricing a business event

Start from your costs per head, then decide whether the event should cover them, make a margin or be paid for by members or a sponsor. Free events are easy to book and easy to miss; a small charge or a deposit usually means more of the people who book turn up. Check that against your own numbers.
