What does fair share cover?
Season costs may be in the budget spreadsheet while fundraiser estimates and parent wording sit in somebody's email. Add season costs, program support, and fundraising, then review the amount left per student and print the family explanation. This is not a fee policy or student ledger. Families who need help should be able to ask privately, and your director, treasurer, and school policy have the final say on fees, waivers, credits, and payment plans.

What this assumes
What needs a local check?
Do not use BandBoosterKit as a student-account ledger or official payment record.
Keep student balances, payment records, refunds, waivers, family financial information, and enforcement decisions in approved local systems.
Fair-share rules, refund language, fundraising-credit treatment, and fee enforcement vary by school, district, booster, and state guidance.
Missing, malformed, or negative required numbers are flagged, and totals that depend on them stay pending.
The math
How the totals work
Season expenses sum the expense rows. Offsets sum school funds, fundraising, and sponsor rows. Net to families = expenses - offsets. Fair share per student divides net to families by the student count; the optional payment plan divides fair share by the installment count (capped at 12).
Expense and offset rows are dollar totals. Entered rows need valid, nonnegative amounts; dependent totals stay pending until they are complete.
Fair share per student = max(net to families, 0) / student count, rounded to cents.
Installment amount = fair share / installment count; installment count is capped at 12 with a warning.
Offset percent shows how much of the season budget is covered before family fair-share.
