Model “what if” sub-licensing bookings to see how they could reduce your residency cost — using fixed assumptions.
Would you like to model sub-licensing?
Sub-licensing means: when you’re not recording, you can allow approved third-party bookings in your studio to generate income.

A quick, important note (keeping it real)
There are no guarantees of rental income. The Factory London won’t be actively marketing individual residency studios for hire —
so it’s typically the studio holder’s responsibility to promote availability and attract bookings.
If you don’t secure any third-party bookings, your rental income is £0 — and you’d still be responsible for your
monthly residency fee. This tool is for scenario planning only.
What this calculator shows (no confusing minus numbers)
Your annual fee
Your studio has a fixed annual residency fee (based on the studio you choose).
Your projected rental income
If you secure bookings, you receive 70% of rental income (Factory share fixed at 30%) at £100/hr.
What you still pay
We show the remaining annual cost you’d still cover after applying your rental income — this never goes below £0.
If you exceed your fee, we show a separate annual surplus.
Scenario planning only. If you rent 0 hours, your rental income is £0 and your residency fee still applies.
Your outcome (clear + positive framing)
No “minus” totals
Scenario only: no guarantees. If bookings are 0, income is £0 and your residency fee still applies.
Your monthly cost after rentals (never below £0)
