Seasonal Contract or Per-Push? The Snow Pricing Calculator

Your seasonal contract is a bet on the weather. Here's the price where the bet is fair.

Flat price in November, push whatever falls. Light winter, you win. Heavy winter, you work for free from February. Per-push is the opposite bet, and it leaves your cash flow to the sky. Most snow companies copy last year's price and add 5%. This workbook prices the bet.

Three winters, both models. Light, typical and heavy — your push counts, your odds. Profit per customer under seasonal and per-push in each, and the weighted value, which is what a bet you make every year is actually worth. The sample $650 contract nets $285 against $287 per-push: a coin flip.

The fair price, the break-even, the absorb. The seasonal price that matches per-push over the odds. The pushes at which seasonal stops winning. The pushes the contract absorbs before a customer costs you money. What a bad winter still nets.

Can you deliver it. Route hours per event against crew hours — the ALERT no price fixes — and November cash against winter fixed costs, the reason to sell seasonal at all.

The dashboard grades it — eight measures, HEALTHY, WATCH or ALERT, with a chart of profit per customer in each winter under both models. One portrait page. Read it before the contracts go out.
