How this is calculated
- Outing cash = entered outings × (cover + food + drinks + transport + optional fees).
- A separate monthly membership is added once per entered month.
- Personal hours and any optional value of time stay separate from the cash headline.
What this does not tell you
- Starter values are illustrative, not venue prices.
- No moral judgment, medical claim, or day-after risk estimate is included.

These sources support the approach described here. They do not make the illustrative starter prices verified averages. The source dates below record context checks, not starter-price observation dates. The linked material explains the method; it does not verify the example amounts.
