Capoeira Allowance Calculator: $185 a Month, $2,220 a Year
On the defaults — a $75.00 monthly base allowance plus 2 capoeira sessions a month at $55.00 each — your capoeira allowance totals $185.00 a month and $2,220.00 for the year. This is the CAPOEIRA version — a monthly base for capoeira extras plus paid capoeira sessions priced monthly — the muay-thai-allowance-calculator page is the MUAY THAI version, the wrestling-allowance-calculator page is the WRESTLING version, the sports-allowance-calculator page is the SPORTS version, and the how-to-calculate-capoeira-allowance guide is the METHOD version — the same $75.00 base plus 2 capoeira sessions at $55.00 worked step by step.
What does $185.00 a month of capoeira allowance mean?
It means $75.00 of recurring base allowance plus $110.00 of paid capoeira sessions: 2 sessions at $55.00 each. The base is 40.54% of the monthly total, and the capoeira sessions are the remaining 59.46%. Over 12 months that is $900.00 of base plus $1,320.00 of capoeira sessions, $2,220.00 in all. If the base rises by $10.00, the monthly total rises by exactly $10.00; if one capoeira session is added at $55.00, the monthly total rises by $55.00.

Three things to check before you trust the number
First, the base must be genuinely recurring: abada wear, corda replacement, instrument upkeep and small extras that repeat every month. A single new abada bought once is not base, and spreading it across the base inflates every month that follows. Second, count only paid capoeira sessions: class time bundled into a school membership or already covered by the base allowance costs $0.00 extra and must not be entered, or the total counts it twice. Third, the per-session price must be everything that session costs you — studio hire plus any session-only coaching charge — not the hire fee on its own, or the year total quietly understates what capoeira really costs.
Worked example
Base $75.00, 2 capoeira sessions, $55.00 per capoeira session. Capoeira sessions total: 2 × $55.00 = $110.00. Monthly total: $75.00 + $110.00 = $185.00. Yearly total: $185.00 × 12 = $2,220.00, split as $900.00 base and $1,320.00 sessions. Add a third session and the month becomes $240.00; drop to one session and it becomes $130.00. The base share rises as sessions fall, because the base stays fixed while the sessions line shrinks.
Every branch, checked
A $95.00 base with the same capoeira sessions and per-session amount gives $205.00 a month and $2,460.00 a year. A $45.00 per-session amount with the same base and capoeira sessions gives $165.00 a month and $1,980.00 a year. One capoeira session with the same base and per-session amount gives $130.00 a month and $1,560.00 a year. Four capoeira sessions with the same base and per-session amount give $295.00 a month and $3,540.00 a year. Each branch changes exactly one input, so the difference from $185.00 isolates that input.
The reverses, worked backwards
The base behind $185.00 a month is $75.00: at $65.00 the figures are $175.00 a month and $2,100.00 a year, and at $85.00 they are $195.00 a month and $2,340.00 a year — a $10.00 step moves the month by $10.00. The per-session amount behind $185.00 a month is $55.00: at $45.00 the figures are $165.00 a month and $1,980.00 a year, and at $65.00 they are $205.00 a month and $2,460.00 a year — a $10.00 step moves the month by $20.00, because it applies to both sessions. The capoeira sessions behind $185.00 a month are 2: at 1 session the figures are $130.00 a month and $1,560.00 a year, and at 4 sessions they are $295.00 a month and $3,540.00 a year — the step from 2 to 4 is two sessions, so the month moves by $110.00.
What the defaults assume
The defaults assume a flat $75.00 base every month of the year, 2 paid capoeira sessions every month, and a constant $55.00 per capoeira session. Real capoeira runs in seasons: a workshop month may hold 4 sessions and a holiday month none, so the honest use is to enter the average month, or to run the calculator once per season and add the seasons. Zero capoeira sessions is the honest edge: $75.00 a month and $900.00 a year, the base alone. Negative inputs are rejected — a base, a session count, or a per-session price below zero has no meaning here.
Who uses this
A weekly capoeira student budgeting the year: the base covers abada, corda and instrument upkeep, the sessions line prices the paid class time, and the year total is the annual budget. A capoeira school manager setting a capoeira allowance: the base is the shared instrument allowance and the per-session price is the group class rate. A parent pricing a child’s capoeira program: the base is the monthly school fee and the capoeira sessions are the paid class days. A benefits manager comparing sport allowances: the same base-plus-sessions shape prices capoeira next to muay thai, wrestling, swimming and other sports on equal terms.
Accuracy & limitations
The arithmetic is exact for the inputs entered; the judgement is in the inputs. A base that bundles one-off purchases, a session count that mixes covered and paid sessions, or a per-session price that omits coaching fees will each move the answer by exactly the amount of the error, every month. The model does not include travel, lodging, lessons bought as a block, event entry fees, or employer reimbursement caps — price those separately, and re-check the allowance when the base or the per-session price changes.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as the monthly base allowance?
The recurring amount for abada wear, corda replacement, instrument upkeep and small capoeira extras: the figure set each month. Paid capoeira sessions are not part of the base — they have their own line — and one-off charges such as new gloves belong in the month they are charged, not spread across the base.
What if my capoeira sessions are covered by the base allowance?
Enter 0 capoeira sessions, or a $0.00 cost per capoeira session, and the total is the base alone: $75.00 a month and $900.00 over 12 months on these defaults. A covered capoeira session makes its sessions line $0.00 by definition, and that is the honest edge, not a missing input.
Should I enter my average month or my busiest month?
The average month, if you want the year total to be right: 2 sessions a month here means 24 sessions a year. Enter the busiest month only when you are pricing that month itself, and say so, or the year total will overstate the season.
Does the base include a gym membership?
No. A gym membership paid yearly is a lump sum, not a monthly base. Either leave it out and price paid sessions only, or spread it yourself across the months it covers and add it to the base — but never do both, or the membership is counted twice.
Why does one extra capoeira session move the month by $55.00?
Because the per-session price applies once per session: one more session adds exactly one per-session charge. The base does not change when sessions change, which is why the sessions line, not the base, carries the seasonal swing.
Can I use this for a capoeira allowance my employer pays?
Yes, as a pricing check: enter the employer’s base and per-session rate and compare the year total with the employer’s cap. The calculator prices whatever figures you enter; it does not check any employer’s rules.
