Annual booking goal and package mix worked example
Follow invented US package contribution, annual goal, booking capacity, and person-hour inputs through the planner.
Business question
How many completed bookings do these invented package mixes require to cover the entered annual contribution goal, and do the entered capacity limits support them?
The existing planner calculates a whole completed-booking requirement, allocates it across the invented mix, and checks entered booking-count and person-hour capacity.
Inputs
Start with allowlisted invented values.
- Package prices, mix percentages, costs, person-hours, and annual goals are invented planning inputs.
- The second scenario changes annual overhead to demonstrate how linked assumptions affect the booking requirement.

Process
Reproduce the calculation in order.
- 01
Calculate contribution for each package after variable costs and modeled payment fees.
- 02
Weight package contribution by the entered mix and divide the annual contribution requirement by that amount.
- 03
Round up, allocate whole bookings by largest remainder, and compare the result with booking-count and person-hour capacity.

Interpretation
What the outputs do—and do not—show.
- The result is a required completed-booking count under the entered mix, not a sales forecast or demand estimate.
- A mathematically feasible count still requires the studio to review workload, seasonality, lead flow, and delivery constraints.
Limitations
Boundaries to keep visible.
- The model excludes sales forecasting, cash-flow timing, package migration, taxes, owner income tax, and unentered non-booking work.
- Changing package mix or contribution can change both the whole-number allocation and the final required count.
