FAQ
What counts as fixed cost? +
Rent, insurance, full-time teacher salaries, utilities, software subscriptions. Anything you pay whether you have 5 students or 25.
Should I include my own salary? +
Yes — if you are the founder/director, pay yourself. A microschool that does not pay its director is one bad month from collapse.
