Business planning only. This calculator does not provide electrical, structural, anchoring, venue-placement, weather or installation-safety instructions. Follow equipment manufacturer guidance and venue/applicable requirements separately.
Per-letter pricing is simple for customers; internal costing should be smarter
A flat per-character rate can be easy to sell, but the business still needs to recover inventory, transport it, set it up, return for strike, replace consumables and absorb duplicate-character bottlenecks. The safe package price shows whether the simple rate actually funds those realities.
Your alphabet is not one unit of capacity
Two simultaneous bookings may both need the same A, E, R, 2 or 0. The calculator therefore asks for package-equivalents supported by your real character mix instead of assuming every owned letter can be rented independently.
