VentureGauge
Know when your venture starts paying for itself.
You already know what you charge and what it costs. VentureGauge turns those numbers into a simple picture of progress toward break-even.
Coming soon on the App Store and Google Play
Is this venture paying for itself?
Other apps run the business. VentureGauge shows whether it is paying for itself. It does not replace accounting, inventory, or checkout tools. It is the fuel gauge.
How it works
Four numbers. A gauge. Ordinary language instead of a spreadsheet.
- 1
Tell us what you earn
Enter revenue per unit — what you collect for a meal, session, job, or item.
- 2
Add your costs
Enter the cost of making one unit, plus the expenses that stay the same regardless of sales.
- 3
Record your progress
Enter how many units you have sold so far.
- 4
Watch the gauge
See how close the venture is to covering its costs, and how far it has gone once it has.
A unit is whatever you sell
You choose what a unit means. VentureGauge does not connect to those businesses’ other systems.

The gauge does not stop at 100%
At break-even
The numbers you entered say costs are covered.
Beyond break-even
The needle keeps moving. You can see how far the venture has gone past covering its costs. That is a reading of the numbers you entered, not a forecast.
Your venture. Your numbers.
