How It Works
Enter one set of bouquet costs and prices, then calculate targets across the year.
Step 1
Enter Your Annual Fixed Costs
Add up yearly rent, rates, salaries, insurance, software and other costs that do not rise with each bouquet sold. Enter that annual total.
- Use the operating cost calculator to help total your costs
- Keep salaries in fixed costs so the same wages are not counted twice
- Change the total and calculate again when your costs change

Step 2
Work Out Contribution Per Bouquet
Enter your average selling price and the direct cost of one bouquet. When VAT is enabled, the calculator removes it from the selling price before subtracting direct costs.
- Include flowers, sundries and other costs that arise with each bouquet
- Set VAT registration and the rate included in your selling price
- See how much each sale contributes towards fixed costs
| Selling price including 20% VAT | £72 |
|---|---|
| Selling price excluding VAT | £60 |
| Direct cost excluding VAT | £30 |
| Contribution per bouquet | £30 |
The £30 contribution goes towards fixed costs. It is not the final profit on the bouquet.
Step 3
Calculate Targets For Your Opening Schedule
Add your opening days per week and, if useful, hours per day. Select Calculate Break-Even to see the annual, monthly, weekly and daily bouquet quantities.
- Add opening hours to see an hourly target
- Review revenue and direct costs for monthly, weekly and daily targets
- Save a named calculation and reopen it when you need it
The calculator uses 52 weeks per year.
£504 revenue · £210 direct costs
Hourly target in this example: 0.8 bouquets. Hourly quantities are rounded to one decimal place.
What The Calculator Includes
Use your own selling price, direct costs and opening schedule for each calculation.
- Annual, monthly, weekly and daily bouquet targets
- Contribution per bouquet after VAT and direct costs
- Optional hourly target from your opening schedule
- Revenue and direct costs for monthly, weekly and daily targets
- Named calculations you can save and reopen
Revisit Your Saved Calculations
Save a calculation with a name you recognise, then reopen its inputs and results from Saved Calculations.
When your selling price or costs change, reopen the calculation, adjust the figures and calculate again. You can save separate calculations for different bouquet prices and review each set of targets.
