🧮 Price a Reunion
What is a Reunion Cost Per Head Calculator?
It takes the guesswork out of pricing a class reunion or homecoming event. Punch in the total budget and expected attendance, and it instantly shows the cost per person — handy for class committees setting a ticket price that covers the bill without over- or under-charging attendees.
Use it to sanity-check a quote from a venue, compare pricing across a range of attendance scenarios, or justify a ticket price to your class committee. Remember to confirm vendor quotes and build in a small buffer for no-shows before finalizing a number.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does the reunion cost per head calculator work?
Enter the total event budget — venue, catering, entertainment, signage, and any other costs — and the number of attendees you expect. It divides the budget by attendees to give you a per-person cost, a useful starting point for setting a ticket price.
Should the ticket price equal the cost per head exactly?
Not necessarily. Many class committees price tickets slightly above the raw cost per head to build in a buffer for no-shows, last-minute additions, or a modest surplus for the class fund. Others subsidize part of the cost from prior fundraising so tickets can be priced lower.
What costs should go into the total budget?
Typically venue rental, catering, entertainment or a DJ, signage and decor, name badges and check-in supplies, photography, and any committee-covered extras like a memory book or gift for milestone classes. Get firm vendor quotes rather than estimates wherever possible before setting a final price.
What if attendance is lower than expected?
A lower turnout raises the effective cost per head since many venue and catering costs are semi-fixed. Building a modest attendance buffer into your estimate — or negotiating a flexible catering minimum with your venue — helps protect the class budget if RSVPs come in under projections.
