45. The 20% Corporate fee is the fee that you pay to the eWN Corporate office. It is calculated by taking the subtotal and multiplying it by 20%. (For example: $395.96 x.20 = $79.19) STEP 45

46. Credit Card Transaction Fees are calculated by multiplying the total number of credit card transactions by 75%. (For example: 9 x.75 = $6.75) STEP 46

47. The 4% Fee on Approved Charges is the fee that the corporate office pays, as a merchant, for processing credit card transactions. It is calculated by multiplying the total of all credit card payments by 4%. (For example: $395.96 x.04 = $15.84) STEP 47

48. The Subtotal is the sum of all combined fees and approved charges. This is the total amount that you pay to the corporate office. STEP 48

49. The Subtotal under the Managing Director’s Reimbursement is the amount of gross revenue earned on the event less all corporate and processing fees. It is calculated by taking the subtotal of the event payments received and subtracting the subtotal of all corporate and processing fees. (For example: $395.96 – $101.78 = $294.18) STEP 49

50. Below the Sub-Total is the Less Event Funds Retained and Less Foundation Funds Retained. These are both the physical checks and cash received for your event and for your Foundation donations. These amounts are deducted from your reimbursement. STEP 50 The Total Due To Managing Director is the amount that will be remitted to you via check or direct deposit.

51. The first example shows the Sub-Total less your MD Venue Expenses. The result is the actual profit or loss for this event, which allows you to understand and control your event expenses. (For example: $294.18 – 56.38 = $237.80) The second section shows the cost per head breakdown on the event. The first is the % of Reimbursement on Expenses. This is venue expense divided by the MD reimbursement total. (For example: $56.38/294.18 = 19.17%) This shows you the actual percentage of revenue spent on your venue. The next is the cost per head. This is simply the venue expense divided by the number of attendees. (For example: $56.38/10 = $5.64 pp) This allows you to control the cost per head on your venues. STEP 51 The Event Profit Breakdown is a breakdown of your profit margin in both dollars and a cost per head basis.

52. TIPS Negotiate with your venue(s): Your venue expense will determine your profit margin. Limit the number of free attendees. You pay a meal cost for those who do not pay, which cuts your profit margin. Do NOT wait to process registrations or Foundation donations. Send your reconciliations within 48 hours of your event. The sooner you get them in, the sooner you get paid. Plus, you will avoid the late fees! Reduce number of refunds: Refunds are credit transactions. These transactions cost you $.75 for the original transaction and another $.75 for the credit. Do not accept e-checks; only cash, credit cards and paper checks are acceptable.
