Band tour budget template
A tour budget should be simple enough to keep updated while travelling. Track the money close to the show or tour date instead of waiting until everyone is home.
Income to track
Start with the money you expect, then update it when settlement is complete.
- Guarantees
- Door splits
- Merch sales
- Buyouts
- Support contributions
- Other income
Expenses to track
Small costs add up quickly on tour. Add them as they happen, especially fuel, tolls, parking, food, and emergency purchases.
- Fuel and tolls
- Hotels and accommodation
- Food
- Vehicle rental or repairs
- Crew or session fees
- Backline rental
- Printing and merch costs
Review by show and by tour
A show can look profitable on its own while the full tour still loses money. Review both levels so the band understands the real picture.
