Built for working bands

The books for gig settlement, member balances, and year-end totals.

BandTally is double-entry accounting shaped around how bands actually get paid — guarantee, door, expenses, agent cut, Equal Pay, and merch — not a generic ledger with gig stickers on it.

Gig settlements

Each gig holds the guarantee, deal type, payments, expenses, and agent commission. You get a profit number and an amount to split — the same math as the gig settlement calculator, saved in the books.

Member balances

Record who is owed what after a gig, pay it (Zelle, Venmo, check, cash), and keep a running balance per person instead of a group-chat spreadsheet.

Equal Pay and member deals

Split net equally, by percentage, or as a flat fee. Leader fee sits on top of the leader’s share. Manual overrides stay available when the night was messy. How the band splits what’s left.

1099 year-end totals

Standard includes year-end totals ready for 1099-NEC. BandTally is not a tax preparer and this is not tax advice — it is a clean record you can hand to whoever files.

Pro: merch inventory and COGS

Pro adds merchandise inventory, cost of goods, invoicing, bank reconciliation, and recurring expenses. Track shirts and vinyl in the same workspace as the gigs — not a second spreadsheet.

Start with the night, then keep the books.

Run a gig settlement calculator for tonight, read how to read a venue settlement, see how a door deal differs from the guarantee, then start a 30-day trial to save it. Compare Standard and Pro pricing when you are ready.
