How much tuition is lost when daycare places stay empty?
A vacant place is not automatically lost profit, but it does represent tuition capacity that was available and not billed. This calculator estimates the tuition associated with the time those places remained empty.
Daycare revenue loss formula
Vacant places × average weekly tuition × weeks vacant. Two vacant places at $250 per week for 6 weeks equal $3,000 in unbilled tuition capacity.
Use this as a visibility tool
The result is not a forecast and it does not assume every place could have been filled immediately. Demand, age-group ratios, part-time schedules, staffing and local regulations can all limit fillable capacity.
Why tracking vacancy duration matters
Owners often know how many places are open but do not track how long they remain open. Measuring vacancy duration can make enrollment gaps easier to prioritize and can show whether the same capacity problem keeps repeating.
