Arts & Economic Prosperity IV: Calculator


Total Expenditures:	The total dollars spent by your nonprofit arts and culture organization and its audiences; event-related spending by arts and culture audiences is estimated using the average dollars spent per person by arts event attendees in similarly populated communities.
FTE Jobs:	The total number of full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs in your community that are supported by the expenditures made by your arts and culture organization and/or its audiences. An FTE can be one full-time employee, two half-time employees, four employees who work quarter-time, etc.
Household Income:	The total dollars paid to community residents as a result of the expenditures made by your arts and culture organization and/or its audiences. Household income includes salaries, wages, and proprietary income.
Government Revenue:	The total dollars received by your local and state governments (e.g., license fees, taxes) as a result of the expenditures made by your arts and culture organization and/or its audiences.

When using estimates derived from this calculator, always keep the following caveats in mind: (1) the results of this analysis are based upon the averages of similarly populated communities, (2) input/output models were customized for each of these similarly populated communities, providing very specific employment, household income, and government revenue data, and (3) your results are therefore estimates, and should not be used as a substitute for conducting an economic impact study that is customized for your community.
