Formulas Used in Networking Event ROI Calculator

The calculator uses the following formulas to estimate ROI:

Net Benefit:

\\[ B_n = (N \cdot V \cdot M_e) – C \\]

Connection Success Rate:

\\[ S_r = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{N \cdot M_e}{N_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) \\]

ROI Percentage:

\\[ R = \frac{B_n}{C} \cdot 100 \\]

Where:

\\( B_n \\): Net benefit (USD)
\\( N \\): Expected connections (people)
\\( V \\): Connection value (USD per connection)
\\( M_e \\): Event type multiplier (Conference: 1.0, Workshop: 1.2, Social Mixer: 0.8)
\\( C \\): Event cost (USD)
\\( S_r \\): Connection success rate (%)
\\( N_{\text{max}} \\): Maximum reference connections (50)
\\( R \\): ROI percentage (%)

Example Calculations

Example 1: Low-Cost Event, Few Connections, Social Mixer

Input: Event Cost = 50 USD, Expected Connections = 5, Connection Value = 100 USD, Event Type = Social Mixer

\\[ B_n = (N \cdot V \cdot M_e) – C = (5 \cdot 100 \cdot 0.8) – 50 = 350 \ \text{USD} \\] \\[ S_r = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{N \cdot M_e}{N_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{5 \cdot 0.8}{50}, 100\right) = 8 \ \% \\] \\[ R = \frac{B_n}{C} \cdot 100 = \frac{350}{50} \cdot 100 = 700 \ \% \\]

Result: Net Benefit: 350 USD, Connection Success Rate: 8%, ROI: 700%

Example 2: Medium-Cost Event, Moderate Connections, Conference

Input: Event Cost = 500 USD, Expected Connections = 15, Connection Value = 300 USD, Event Type = Conference

\\[ B_n = (N \cdot V \cdot M_e) – C = (15 \cdot 300 \cdot 1.0) – 500 = 4000 \ \text{USD} \\] \\[ S_r = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{N \cdot M_e}{N_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{15 \cdot 1.0}{50}, 100\right) = 30 \ \% \\] \\[ R = \frac{B_n}{C} \cdot 100 = \frac{4000}{500} \cdot 100 = 800 \ \% \\]

Result: Net Benefit: 4000 USD, Connection Success Rate: 30%, ROI: 800%

Example 3: High-Cost Event, Many Connections, Workshop

Input: Event Cost = 2000 USD, Expected Connections = 40, Connection Value = 1000 USD, Event Type = Workshop

\\[ B_n = (N \cdot V \cdot M_e) – C = (40 \cdot 1000 \cdot 1.2) – 2000 = 46000 \ \text{USD} \\] \\[ S_r = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{N \cdot M_e}{N_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{40 \cdot 1.2}{50}, 100\right) = 96 \ \% \\] \\[ R = \frac{B_n}{C} \cdot 100 = \frac{46000}{2000} \cdot 100 = 2300 \ \% \\]

Result: Net Benefit: 46000 USD, Connection Success Rate: 96%, ROI: 2300%
