THE LOGIC BEHIND THE RESULT

How the Travel Advisor Fee Calculator Works

Your planning fee is evaluated against the economics of the trip rather than a generic market-rate recommendation.

Contribution Per Planning Hour

(Net Expected Commission + Planned Fee − Direct Costs) ÷ Planning Hours

What the Results Help You Review

The free travel advisor fee calculator separates gross supplier commission from the share your business actually retains. It also treats planning time and direct costs as real economic inputs. That makes it easier to see whether a no-fee trip covers the work, whether a proposed fee reaches your profit target, and how much contribution the trip may create per planning hour.

The result is specific to the assumptions you enter. Two advisors can work on bookings with the same selling price and still need different planning fees because their hours, service scope, commission split, direct costs and profit goals are different.

PRACTICAL PRICING CONTEXT

Use the Estimate as a Business Decision Input

Review the time honestly

Include research, calls, proposals, revisions, booking administration and support. A low hour estimate can make an otherwise weak trip look profitable.

Use the commission your business retains

Gross supplier commission is not always business revenue. Apply the business or advisor share after the host or agency split.

Separate break-even from target profit

Break-even only avoids a modeled loss. The fee required to reach your desired trip profit is a different decision point.
