Taekwondo Allowance Calculator: $195 a Month, $2,340 a Year
On the defaults — a $85.00 monthly base allowance plus 2 taekwondo sessions a month at $55.00 each — your taekwondo allowance totals $195.00 a month and $2,340.00 for the year. This is the TAEKWONDO version — a monthly base for taekwondo extras plus paid taekwondo sessions priced monthly — the judo-allowance-calculator page is the JUDO version, the wrestling-allowance-calculator page is the WRESTLING version, the handball-allowance-calculator page is the HANDBALL version, and the how-to-calculate-taekwondo-allowance guide is the METHOD version — the same $85.00 base plus 2 taekwondo sessions at $55.00 worked step by step.
What does $195.00 a month of taekwondo allowance mean?
It means $85.00 of recurring base allowance plus $110.00 of paid taekwondo sessions: 2 sessions at $55.00 each. The base is just over two fifths of the monthly total (43.59%), and the taekwondo sessions are the other just under three fifths. Over 12 months that is $1,020.00 of base plus $1,320.00 of taekwondo sessions, $2,340.00 in all. If the base rises by $10.00, the monthly total rises by exactly $10.00; if one taekwondo 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: dobok wear, belt replacement, tape and small extras that repeat every month. A single new dobok bought once is not base, and spreading it across the base inflates every month that follows. Second, count only paid taekwondo sessions: mat time bundled into a club 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 — mat hire plus any session-only coaching charge — not the hire fee on its own, or the year total quietly understates what taekwondo really costs.
Worked example
Base $85.00, 2 taekwondo sessions, $55.00 per taekwondo session. Taekwondo sessions total: 2 × $55.00 = $110.00. Monthly total: $85.00 + $110.00 = $195.00. Yearly total: $195.00 × 12 = $2,340.00, split as $1,020.00 base and $1,320.00 sessions. Add a third session and the month becomes $250.00; drop to one session and it becomes $140.00. The base share rises as sessions fall, because the base stays fixed while the sessions line shrinks.
Every branch, checked
A $105.00 base with the same taekwondo sessions and per-session amount gives $215.00 a month and $2,580.00 a year. A $45.00 per-session amount with the same base and taekwondo sessions gives $175.00 a month and $2,100.00 a year. One taekwondo session with the same base and per-session amount gives $140.00 a month and $1,680.00 a year. Four taekwondo sessions with the same base and per-session amount give $305.00 a month and $3,660.00 a year. Each branch changes exactly one input, so the difference from $195.00 isolates that input.
The reverses, worked backwards
The base behind $195.00 a month is $85.00: at $75.00 the figures are $185.00 a month and $2,220.00 a year, and at $95.00 they are $205.00 a month and $2,460.00 a year — a $10.00 step moves the month by $10.00. The per-session amount behind $195.00 a month is $55.00: at $45.00 the figures are $175.00 a month and $2,100.00 a year, and at $65.00 they are $215.00 a month and $2,580.00 a year — a $10.00 step moves the month by $20.00, because it applies to both sessions. The taekwondo sessions behind $195.00 a month are 2: at 1 session the figures are $140.00 a month and $1,680.00 a year, and at 4 sessions they are $305.00 a month and $3,660.00 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 $85.00 base every month of the year, 2 paid taekwondo sessions every month, and a constant $55.00 per taekwondo session. Real taekwondo runs in seasons: a grading 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 taekwondo sessions is the honest edge: $85.00 a month and $1,020.00 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 taekwondo student budgeting the year: the base covers dobok, belt and tape, the sessions line prices the paid mat time, and the year total is the annual budget. A club treasurer setting a taekwondo allowance: the base is the shared equipment allowance and the per-session price is the group mat rate. A parent pricing a child’s taekwondo program: the base is the monthly club fee and the taekwondo sessions are the paid mat days. A benefits manager comparing sport allowances: the same base-plus-sessions shape prices taekwondo next to judo, wrestling, handball 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, tournament 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 dobok wear, belt replacement, tape and small taekwondo extras: the figure set each month. Paid taekwondo sessions are not part of the base — they have their own line — and one-off charges such as a new dobok belong in the month they are charged, not spread across the base.
What if my taekwondo sessions are covered by the base allowance?
Enter 0 taekwondo sessions, or a $0.00 cost per taekwondo session, and the total is the base alone: $85.00 a month and $1,020.00 over 12 months on these defaults. A covered taekwondo 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 club membership?
No. A club 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 taekwondo 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 taekwondo 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.
