Yoga Retreat Cost Calculator
Calculate per-person pricing for a yoga retreat from accommodation, meals, instruction, and activities.
About this calculator
This calculator builds Total Cost from per-guest, per-night line items -- accommodation, meals, and instructor pay all multiply by however many Nights the retreat runs (instructor pay and meals also count the arrival day, so they use Nights plus one) -- then marks that cost up by your Target Profit Margin to set Price per Guest. Nights has the largest single effect on Price per Guest of any input at the default settings, because it scales three separate cost lines (accommodation, meals, and instructor pay) at once, while every other input only scales one or two.
Number of Guests moves Price per Guest in the counterintuitive direction: it lowers the per-guest price rather than raising it, because Venue Rental, Marketing Budget, and instructor pay are fixed totals that get divided across more people as the guest count grows, and that spreading effect outweighs the extra per-guest variable costs (accommodation, meals, activities) that more guests also add. Break-Even Guests is the headcount at which your fixed costs are fully covered by the margin built into Price per Guest; below that headcount the retreat runs at a loss even though Price per Guest itself doesn't change with attendance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Nights have the biggest effect on Price per Guest?
Nights multiplies into three cost lines at once -- accommodation, meals, and instructor pay all scale with it, with meals and instructor pay also counting the arrival day. No other single input touches that many cost components, which is why a change in Nights moves Price per Guest more than an equivalent change in any other input.
Why does adding more guests lower Price per Guest instead of raising it?
Venue Rental, Marketing Budget, and total instructor pay are fixed costs that don't grow with attendance -- they get divided across however many guests you have, so spreading them over more people lowers each guest's share. That spreading effect outweighs the extra accommodation, meals, and activities cost that additional guests also bring.
What does Break-Even Guests tell me?
It's the minimum headcount at which the margin built into Price per Guest covers your fixed costs (instructor pay, Venue Rental, and Marketing Budget) after variable per-guest costs are subtracted out. Selling fewer spots than this figure means the retreat runs at a loss even at your target Price per Guest.
How does Target Profit Margin change Price per Guest?
Price per Guest is Cost per Guest divided by (1 minus your margin as a fraction), so raising Target Profit Margin always raises Price per Guest -- at a 20% margin, for example, the price is your cost divided by 0.8, and that multiplier grows faster as the margin percentage climbs higher.
