Sales kickoff budgets get built on gut feel and last year's spreadsheet — until Finance asks why the number doubled. This calculator builds a bottom-up SKO budget from the line items that actually drive cost: venue and AV, travel and lodging, food and beverage, content and speaker production, swag, and a contingency buffer. It returns the total spend, cost per attendee, cost per attendee per day, a category breakdown, and a check against typical planning ranges so you can spot an over-scoped budget before contracts are signed.
Enter your attendee count and number of on-site days, then fill in your real (or quoted) unit costs for venue/AV, travel & lodging, food & beverage, content/speaker production, and swag. The tool totals everything, adds your contingency buffer, and shows the total budget, cost per attendee, a category breakdown chart and table, and a check against typical per-attendee-per-day planning ranges. Adjust any field and the numbers update instantly — use it to pressure-test a draft budget or to build one from scratch before you go to Finance.
Tools like this describe good practice. They can't tell you which of your reps actually have the skill, or in what order to build it. That's what The Mastery Standard does: 27 frameworks, 54 competencies, every rubric cell written, every assessment human-signed-off.
