Marketing Budget Calculator

Our Marketing Budget Calculator gives you a clear, realistic recommended marketing budget based on the two numbers that actually matter: the tickets you expect to sell and the gross revenue that will generate.




It starts with a proven baseline percentage of gross ticket revenue, then intelligently adjusts for real-world factors like market size, years in operation, competitor density, and your reputation, so you’re not guessing or copying what some other haunt claims they spent on marketing.




The result is a simple, transparent recommendation for media spend, plus an added creative production budget so you can actually run campaigns that look amazing and drives results.

Reputation score: Ranked 1-10 with 10 being the most popular, reputable events. Be frank and honest. If your event consistently gets bad reviews/low marks your reputation score will be lower.

Number of Competitors: If you're in a large market you do not need to input all 20 haunts in the market. Pick the number or "real" competitors you have in your area. Keep in mind competition is much more than just haunts and should be reflected in this number.
