“Will the money last?” Now you’ll actually know.
A seasonal club’s money arrives once — dues at season open — and burns down all summer. Every board meeting circles the same question. Hydive answers it with a live chart instead of a guess.
A sample season, labeled as such — your own numbers go in during setup. Try your club's numbers in the season budget calculator.
Why club budgets fail in spreadsheets
A spreadsheet can hold last month's numbers. It can't tell you what this week's payroll, the chemical delivery, and the pump repair do to September. So the treasurer rebuilds the forecast by hand before every meeting — or the board flies blind and finds out at season close.
The burn-down: a budget shaped like a season
Hydive models your club's money the way it actually behaves: a fund that opens when dues land and burns down as the season spends it. The board sees three numbers, always current — what's in the fund, the weekly burn, and the projected season close. Payroll from the timeclock, bills as they're paid, dues as they arrive: each lands on the chart the day it happens.
What changes for the board
- "Can we afford it?" gets a real answer — a repair or an extra event is a line on the projection, not an argument.
- No more meeting-eve spreadsheet rebuilds — the chart the treasurer would have built by hand is already live.
- The whole board sees the same truth — not a PDF from three weeks ago.
Try it with your club's numbers. The season budget calculator draws your burn-down from your real dues and expenses — free, no signup, shareable with your board.
