Unerfasste und falsch berechnete Unterrichtsgebühren

Definition

Australian dance schools commonly charge per term with multiple fee components: weekly class fees by duration, separate costume/concert fees, exam fees, private lesson charges, and non‑refundable enrolment/administration fees.[1][3][7] New students are billed on a pro‑rata basis when joining mid‑term.[1] Some studios offer multi‑class discounts (e.g. 10% when enrolling in two or more classes and paying upfront) and package pricing for combinations of programs.[1][3] When these rules are managed in spreadsheets or paper, common errors include: (a) failing to bill the non‑refundable enrolment fee for some students;[3] (b) not adding the separate costume/concert fee to the correct term invoice;[1] (c) not invoicing additional exam, solo‑choreography or private‑lesson fees that sit outside base term tuition;[3][7] (d) mis‑prorating students who start or stop during a term and rounding down chargeable weeks;[1] and (e) wrongly applying multi‑class discounts (double‑discounting or forgetting to remove discounts when a student drops a class).[1][3] Logic based on typical term fees (AUD 150–320+ per term per class, plus AUD 50+ enrolment/admin, plus ~AUD 110 concert/costume per class and separate exam/solo charges)[1][3][7] indicates that even a 2–5% under‑billing rate across several hundred enrolments produces material revenue leakage.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Dance companies in Australia 🇦🇺 with 200–400 students can easily leak AUD 20,000–60,000 annually in unbilled pro‑rata tuition, missed admin, costume and exam fees due to manual term invoicing and discount calculation. Automation of fee calculation, proration and add‑on billing per enrolment eliminates this risk.
