I don't mean just petrol etc. for the day, I mean a proper costing which adds up the annual expenditure and divides it by the average number of gigs you do in a year.
Costs should include:
Operating Costs
Depreciation of operating equipment (speakers, players etc) at 25% per annum
Disposables (eg. bulbs, leads, fuses)
Giveaways (glowsticks etc.)
Roadies
Vehicle costs including servicing, tyres, tax and insurance etc.
Music Purchases
Clothing Purchases and cleaning
Equipment repairs
PA Testing
PLI
Other insurances (eg. equipment)
Licences
Fuel costs
Parking costs
Office costs
Computer
Paper and Ink
Postage
Telephone & Fax
Heat, light & power for office/home (an appropriate proportion)
Advertising
Internet costs (hosting, ISP, email etc.)
Subscriptions
I know what it costs me per gig and set my charges accordingly.
Be realistic about the costs and how many gigs you would do in a year.
Do the calculation annual costs divided by gigs and post our result here nad in the poll.
So out of this list, how much could you actualy claim back?
