Resale Pricing & Season Model

Enter your delivered cost per gallon, the resale price per gallon charged to guests, and your seasonal volume. Gross margin = (resale price − cost) ÷ resale price, the layer before fixed delivery/equipment fees.

Season length is used to express per-month throughput; leave at your operating season.

Delivery & Equipment Fees

Fixed propane-related overhead for the season. These pull against revenue after cost of goods, so they directly reduce the margin you actually keep.

Typical: a bulk propane supplier may pass a delivery fee per drop, and onsite tanks are sometimes leased seasonally.
