Savings calculator
Every slider below is a real assumption, not a fixed number — set it to how your own hire fleet, coaching diary, course calendar or workshop bench actually runs, and the sums update as you move it.
The year-one return
Setout’s real prices are in the sum below, so what you see is what it would actually cost.
Hours off your desk, per season
About 9 working days back, or 2.8 hours every week of the season.
Total cost, year one
£708 of Grow plan, £257 in booking fees and £0 to build it.
Net, after everything is paid for
Pays for itself in about 1.9 months.
Grow is the tier costed by default, because rentals, gear inventory and the workshop bench all start there. Start covers sessions and 1:1 coaching but not a hire fleet or a repair workshop. Founding operators who register before launch keep these rates for life. Booking fees are charged to you, never your customers.
| Line | Year one |
|---|---|
| Time saved, valued at £20/hr (74 hrs) | +£1,473 |
| Bookings recovered (52 × £90) | +£4,680 |
| Setout Grow plan, £59 × 12 | −£708 |
| Booking fees at 1% of £25,740 processed | −£257 |
| New site & setup, one-off | — |
| Net, year one | +£5,188 |
| Year two onwards, with the build already paid | +£5,188 |
The assumptions, stated plainly. Setout is assumed to absorb 85% of the handling time, not all of it. Awkward requests still deserve a human. The extra-conversion slider is the one to argue with: it is an input, not a finding, and you know your own numbers better than I do. Set it to zero and see whether the time saved alone still pays for it. Booking value defaults to a round, middling figure — put in what a hire, a session, a course place or a repair job is actually worth to you. Recovered bookings are counted as revenue, not profit, so read the net as turnover rather than money in your pocket.
