Gig profit tracker for performers
The fee is only half the story. StagePay puts each gig’s travel, mileage and expenses next to the fee, so you can see your real take-home by gig, by venue and by month.

THE WORK AROUND THE WORK
Two gigs can pay the same and leave you with very different money. Track the costs with the gig and the difference is obvious.
Comedians on the circuit
Log the fare against the gig and StagePay shows what you kept, not just the headline fee. On Pro, profit per stage minute shows which spots are worth the journey.
Musicians & bands
Compare gig types after expenses, so the wedding season, the residency and the Friday pub slot are judged on what they leave you.
Touring acts
Keep fuel, hotels, kit and per diems with the right dates, then see the month’s income, expenses and net profit together.
BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK
Every gig you invoice is already in StagePay. Add what it cost you and the profit takes care of itself.
Gross income minus travel and allowable expenses: your real take-home for each gig and each month. Included free.
Each booking keeps its venue, date, fee and paid status, so you can see what’s been paid and what’s still owed.
Record mileage, fares, parking and hotels against the gig they belong to, so the cost lands in the right place.
Pro ranks your venues and clients by what they leave after travel, and compares gig types side by side.
For comedians, Pro works out what each minute on stage earns once the costs are taken off.
Pro exports a profit and loss summary, expense report and mileage log for your accountant or self-assessment.

No. StagePay keeps your gig income and expenses organised and shows your profit, which makes tax time easier. Your accountant or tax adviser should still check what you can claim.
