Prepaid package calculator
What would selling prepaid packages actually collect? Put in your own numbers. Nothing is sent anywhere and there is nothing to sign up for.
Collected up front
2,64020 customers buying a package at 132.
Still owed as service
2,640100 visits you have been paid for and not yet delivered. This is not profit until you do the work.
You give away 360 in discount against 3,000 at single-visit prices. The gain is the cash arriving first, and the visits that would otherwise not have been booked.
Why two numbers, not one
Most calculators like this show you the cash and stop. Cash collected up front is not profit — it is service you now owe, and a business that spends it has spent visits it has not delivered. The second figure is the one that keeps you solvent, so it is the same size as the first.
What the discount is buying
Selling five visits at 12% off earns less per visit than selling five visits one at a time. The gain is elsewhere: the money arrives before the work, and a customer holding unused visits is not deciding whether to come back. If a package only moves revenue you would have had anyway, the discount is a cost with nothing on the other side.
Where the assumptions come from
The default of a 10–15% discount is what is typical, not what is optimal for you. On uptake, guess low: the honest finding in the research on prepaid contracts is that they attract more customers but can produce lower completion than pay-as-you-go, because the pressure to turn up disappears once the money is gone. The guide to prepaid packages has the sources.
