Question 1

What inputs does the parking revenue calculator use?

Accepted Answer

Eight inputs: spaces, average daily turn, average hourly rate, hours of paid operation, collection efficiency, monthly permits, permit rate, and enforcement leakage. All eight are surfaced as sliders with deterministic math — no API calls and every projection is reproducible.

Question 2

How does the status quo baseline get calculated?

Accepted Answer

The baseline holds your other inputs constant and substitutes 55% collection efficiency and 22% enforcement leakage — the median values our audits find on unmanaged lots using cash booths, flat-rate pricing, and paper permits.

Question 3

Is the calculator output usable for board or investor presentations?

Accepted Answer

It is a directional model intended for sizing decisions and stakeholder conversations. For a transaction-ready pro forma, request a custom audit and we will replace the assumptions with your property's actual operating data.

Question 4

How does the payback number work?

Accepted Answer

We estimate one-time onboarding cost at $85 per space (mid-range for LPR install, kiosks, signage, and training) and divide by annual revenue uplift, expressed in months.

Question 5

Can I share my projection with a colleague?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every slider state is encoded in the URL query string in real time, so copying the URL reproduces the exact projection on the recipient's device.
