What is an empty daycare spot worth?
An open place is not automatically lost profit, but it can represent tuition capacity that is currently unused. This calculator makes that amount visible using only three inputs: open places, average weekly tuition and weeks open per year.
Open-seat revenue formula
Open places × average weekly tuition × weeks open per year. Two open places at $250 per week for 50 weeks represent $25,000 of possible annual tuition capacity.
Use the result carefully
This is not a revenue forecast and it does not assume every place can or should be filled. Demand, ratios, age mix, operating hours, part-time schedules and local rules all affect real enrollment.
