What this worksheet helps you decide
Compare repeated entered entry fees with a pass that you have checked covers those entries. It provides a transparent working copy of one defined question, not a complete journey plan. The relevant inputs and the scope of the calculation stay visible beside the result.
The most useful result is not always the most favorable number. It may be a shortfall that tells you to revisit an allowance, a comparison that exposes a hidden fee, or a reminder that your source information needs checking.
How to use it
- Define one scenario. Use information you have checked for your own trip. Replace every example field that differs from your plan.
- Check units and reference dates. Keep amounts in the units shown. Clock values share one reference clock; a currency label does not convert money.
- Calculate and read the components. Compare the result with the method below. If a source value is uncertain, calculate a second scenario rather than treating one answer as certain.
- Keep a copy deliberately. Download or print only after reviewing the result. Changing an input marks the old result stale; calculate again before exporting.
Method and calculation rules
Without a pass: visits × (covered entry fee + uncovered parking). With a pass: pass price + visits × uncovered parking. The first whole visit count at which the pass is no more expensive is ceiling(pass price ÷ covered entry fee). Only the entered entry charge is treated as covered.
The method describes what is counted and what is not. A displayed quantity can be rounded for readability; rounding does not make an input more accurate. Do not substitute a result for facts this worksheet does not retrieve.
A worked example
An 80-unit pass and a 12-unit entry fee break even by the seventh covered visit. For eight visits with 4 units parking each, the two totals are 112 with the pass and 128 without it.
Important limits
Pass eligibility, validity dates, person/vehicle rules, reservations and exclusions must be checked with the issuer. The tool does not sell or verify a pass. The currency field labels values; it does not convert them.

Questions about this tool
Why is parking still charged with the pass?
This worksheet treats your parking input as uncovered. Enter zero if there is no additional parking charge in the scenario you verified.
What if a pass covers only some visits?
Enter only visits and entry fees that actually meet the pass terms. Do not use an average that disguises exclusions.
