Read the event financial summary
Admin · Coordinator
Every event in StandShare has a financial summary that shows how much revenue the event generated, what deductions were taken, and what each worker was paid. The numbers look different depending on whether the event has been settled or not -- this guide explains both.
Where the summary appears
The event financial summary surfaces in two places:
- Event edit page (
/events/:id) -- the financials panel is visible to coordinators while managing an event. It shows live numbers based on the stand data entered so far. - Settlement page (
/events/:id/settlement) -- the full settlement preview includes the same financial breakdown. After settlement, these numbers are locked to the final settled values.
Understanding the two calculation modes
Before settlement -- live numbers
Before an event is settled, the summary calculates revenue and payouts in real time from the data entered on the event:
- Stand commission -- sum of the
totalCommissionfield across all stands - CC tips -- sum of the
ccTipsfield across all stands - Per-person rate -- a flat rate set at the venue level, multiplied by the number of attended workers
- Total revenue -- commission + CC tips + per-person amount
- Deductions -- any active fund distribution configs (percentage of commission, or a fixed amount per worker)
- Per-worker payout -- total revenue minus deductions, divided by attended worker count
These numbers update every time you save stand data or mark attendance. Use them to get an estimate before you commit to settlement.
If fund distribution is turned off for an event, no deductions are applied and the full revenue is divided among workers.
After settlement -- locked numbers
Once a settlement run completes, the summary switches to settled values sourced from the settlement record:
- Revenue figures come from the settlement template's income line items.
- Deductions come from fee line items in the template.
- The per-worker payout is calculated as: total payout pool divided by the number of workers who attended.
The settled numbers cannot be changed without reversing the settlement. Reversing and re-settling is possible but creates a settlement reversal transaction in affected family accounts. See Settle an event for the reversal workflow.
The per-worker payout shown after settlement is derived from the total payout pool in the template -- not a per-worker amount that was stored directly. If a family sent more than one worker, their total payout is the per-worker rate multiplied by their worker count.
Reading the financial summary
Revenue sources
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Stand Commission | Total cash commission earned across all stands at this event |
| CC Tips | Total credit card tips collected across all stands |
| Per-Person Rate | Flat rate per worker from the venue configuration |
| Per-Person Amount | Per-person rate multiplied by the number of attended workers |
| Workers | Number of workers counted as attended |
| Total Revenue | Commission + CC tips + per-person amount |
Deductions
The deductions section lists each fund and the amount taken from the event revenue. Common deductions include:
- General Fund -- a percentage of stand commission
- Board Fund -- a percentage of stand commission
- Insurance -- a fixed amount per worker
The deduction rates come from your organization's active fund distribution configuration. To view or change those settings, see Toggle fund distribution.
Payout summary
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Total Deductions | Sum of all fund deductions |
| Total After Deductions | Total revenue minus total deductions |
| Per-Worker Payout | Amount each attending worker earns from this event |
Stand breakdown
Below the payout summary, a stand-by-stand table shows the commission and CC tips entered for each stand at the event. This lets you confirm which stands contributed the most revenue and spot any stands where data may be missing.
Attendance counts
The summary also shows attendance statistics for the event:
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Total Assigned | All workers added to the roster |
| Attended | Workers marked as attended -- these workers earn a payout |
| No Shows | Workers who were assigned but did not show up |
| Cancelled | Assignments cancelled before the event |
| Pending | Workers not yet marked with a final status |
Only workers with Attended status receive a settlement payout.
Connection to family accounts
After settlement, each family's payout is posted as a ledger entry with category event_commission. The transaction appears in the family's Transaction History and in the admin Financial Reports Transactions tab (filterable by Event Commission type).
