Busking & Performance Tools
Free, practical tools for every pitch — time your setlist, estimate your takings, weigh a gig's return, optimize the tip jar, check permit rules, and score a spot before you set up.
Setlist Duration Calculator
Add up every song in your set — plus the gaps between them — to get the total run time in minutes and seconds, so your set fits the pitch, the rota slot, or your stage time
Busking Earnings Calculator
Estimate what a run of street performances brings in — tips plus merch sales — and see your takings broken down per day and per performing hour, so you know your real hourly rate
Performance ROI Calculator
Weigh what a busking run or gig earned against what it cost to stage — equipment, transport, permits, and more — to see your net profit and return on investment as a percentage
Tip Jar Optimizer
Work backwards from a takings goal: enter your target, the audience you expect, and your hours, and see the average tip per person and the hourly target you need to hit it
Busking Permit Checker
Answer a few questions about where you'll play, whether you'll amplify, and whether you'll sell merch, and see whether you likely need a permit — general guidance, not legal advice
Performance Pitch Analyzer
Rate a busking spot on footfall, acoustics, competition, shelter, and space, and get a weighted 0–100 score with a plain-language rating — so you can compare pitches before you set up
