Dodgeball Allowance Calculator: $220/mo, $2,640 a Year
On the defaults — a $110.00 monthly base allowance plus 2 dodgeball games a month at $55.00 each — your dodgeball allowance totals $220.00 a month and $2,640.00 for the year. This is the DODGEBALL version — a monthly base for dodgeball upkeep plus paid dodgeball games priced monthly — the kickball-allowance-calculator page is the KICKBALL version, the racquetball-allowance-calculator page is the RACQUETBALL version, and the how-to-calculate-dodgeball-allowance guide is the METHOD version — the same $110.00 base plus 2 dodgeball games at $55.00 worked step by step.
What does $220.00 a month of dodgeball allowance mean?
It means $110.00 of recurring base allowance plus $110.00 of paid dodgeball games: 2 games at $55.00 each. The base is 50.00% of the monthly total, and the dodgeball games are the remaining 50.00%. Over 12 months that is $1,320.00 of base plus $1,320.00 of dodgeball games, $2,640.00 in all. If the base rises by $20.00, the monthly total rises by exactly $20.00; if one dodgeball game 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: club membership, a gym fee, an insurance share and small ball upkeep that repeat every month. A pair of gym shoes bought once is not base, and spreading its price across the base inflates every month that follows. Second, count only paid dodgeball games: games already covered by a club package or included in the base allowance cost $0.00 extra and must not be entered, or the total counts them twice. Third, the per-game price must be everything that game costs you — the game itself plus any gym fee and tournament entry you always pay — not the game alone, or the year total quietly understates what dodgeball really costs.
Worked example
Base $110.00, 2 dodgeball games, $55.00 per dodgeball game. Dodgeball games total: 2 × $55.00 = $110.00. Monthly total: $110.00 + $110.00 = $220.00. Yearly total: $220.00 × 12 = $2,640.00, split as $1,320.00 base and $1,320.00 games. Add a third game and the month becomes $275.00; drop to one game and it becomes $165.00. The base share rises as games fall, because the base stays fixed while the games line shrinks.
Every branch, checked
A $130.00 base with the same dodgeball games and per-game amount gives $240.00 a month and $2,880.00 a year. A $45.00 per-game amount with the same base and dodgeball games gives $200.00 a month and $2,400.00 a year. Three dodgeball games with the same base and per-game amount give $275.00 a month and $3,300.00 a year. One dodgeball game with the same base and per-game amount gives $165.00 a month and $1,980.00 a year. Each branch changes exactly one input, so the difference from $220.00 isolates that input.
The reverses, worked backwards
The base behind $220.00 a month is $110.00: at $100.00 the figures are $210.00 a month and $2,520.00 a year, and at $120.00 they are $230.00 a month and $2,760.00 a year — a $10.00 step moves the month by $10.00. The per-game amount behind $220.00 a month is $55.00: at $45.00 the figures are $200.00 a month and $2,400.00 a year, and at $65.00 they are $240.00 a month and $2,880.00 a year — a $10.00 step moves the month by $20.00, because it applies to both games. The dodgeball games behind $220.00 a month are 2: at 1 game the figures are $165.00 a month and $1,980.00 a year, and at 3 games they are $275.00 a month and $3,300.00 a year — one game either way moves the month by $55.00.
What the defaults assume
The defaults assume a flat $110.00 base every month of the year, 2 paid dodgeball games every month, and a constant $55.00 per dodgeball game. Real dodgeball runs on the tournament calendar: a busy month may hold 4 games and a quiet month none, so the honest use is to enter the average month, or to run the calculator once per stretch of the year and add the stretches. Zero dodgeball games is the honest edge: $110.00 a month and $1,320.00 a year, the base alone. Negative inputs are rejected — a base, a game count, or a per-game price below zero has no meaning here.
Who uses this
A twice-a-month dodgeball player budgeting the year: the base covers club membership and the gym-fee share, the games line prices the paid games, and the year total is the annual budget. A parent pricing a child’s dodgeball programme: the base is the monthly club fee and the dodgeball games are the paid game days. A club member comparing memberships: the base is the monthly upkeep allowance and the per-game price is the rate for games beyond the package. A benefits manager comparing sport allowances: the same base-plus-games shape prices dodgeball next to tennis, 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 game count that mixes covered and paid games, or a per-game price that omits gym fees or tournament entries will each move the answer by exactly the amount of the error, every month. The model does not include travel, parking, a game-pack bought as a block, gym shoes bought once, or employer reimbursement caps — price those separately, and re-check the allowance when the base or the per-game price changes.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as the monthly base allowance?
The recurring amount for club membership, a gym fee, an insurance share and small ball and gym shoe upkeep: the figure set each month. Paid dodgeball games are not part of the base — they have their own line — and one-off charges such as a gym-shoe purchase belong in the month they are charged, not spread across the base.
What if my dodgeball games are covered by a club package?
Enter 0 dodgeball games, or a $0.00 cost per dodgeball game, and the total is the base alone: $110.00 a month and $1,320.00 over 12 months on these defaults. A covered dodgeball game makes its games 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 games a month here means 24 games 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 club package?
No. A package paid yearly is a lump sum, not a monthly base. Either leave it out and price paid games only, or spread it yourself across the months it covers and add it to the base — but never do both, or the package is counted twice.
Why does one extra dodgeball game move the month by $55.00?
Because the per-game price applies once per game: one more game adds exactly one per-game charge. The base does not change when games change, which is why the games line, not the base, carries the seasonal swing.
Can I use this for a dodgeball allowance my employer pays?
Yes, as a pricing check: enter the employer base and per-game rate and compare the year total with the employer cap. The calculator prices whatever figures you enter; it does not check any employer rules.
