Calculator
Pick a target and a price, and see how many rides it takes to get there — a year, a day, and per bike. It runs on the same cost base as the business plan, so you can test the plan’s numbers or build your own.
Build a scenario
Set a target, a price and the cost base, and the results follow on the right.
Step 1Set the target
What has the year got to deliver? Choose one, then set the figure.
Step 2Set the price
An hourly rate, billed by the minute, sets each ride’s price. Add ride types to model a mix — short spins, the standard ride, a capped full day.
A green dot means the price follows the hourly rate. Type your own price to fix it — for a day cap, say — and clear the box to link it back.

Step 3Capacity & costs
Set to the Year 1 column of the pro forma. Change them to test a bigger fleet, a shorter season or a different cost base.
Price check
What the target takes at other prices: rides per bike per day needed to hit the target, at each hourly rate and average ride length. Everything else as set above. Click a cell to use it.
Scenarios
Your scenario from above, side by side with six worked alternatives on the same cost base. Change anything above and the first column moves with it.
How it works. Each ride earns its price, less any discount, plus add-ons. Payment processing comes off the top, and what is left goes towards the year’s standing costs — maintenance, insurance and the platform for every bike, plus rent, payroll, marketing and overhead. Rides needed is those costs plus the target, divided by what one ride leaves behind. Net profit adds depreciation and a flat 25% tax on top.
Where the defaults come from. The Year 1 column of the pro forma: 30 bikes, 240 operating days, a 10-hour day, C$28 an hour, a 150-minute ride, and C$558,478 of operating costs — staff costed from the pro forma’s Labour Table, with no team bonus in Year 1. At those settings the calculator reproduces the pro forma — 14,400 rides earn C$1,008,000, leaving C$449,522 of EBITDA and C$287,650 of net profit. It breaks even at 7,780 rides on EBITDA, and at 8,752 once depreciation — the bikes and fit-out wearing out — is covered too.
What it is not. A capacity model, not a demand forecast. It tells you how many rides a target takes and whether the fleet can physically carry them. Whether riders turn up in that number is the risk the business plan sets out, not something this page can answer.
