Troop proceeds calculator
Most councils pay the troop a set amount on every package, and the amount depends on the troop's per-girl average (PGA): total packages sold divided by the girls selling. Cross into the next tier and every package earns more.
Troop proceeds, about
$1,012
1,350 packages ÷ 9 girls = a per-girl average of 150, which pays $0.75 a package. Early-bird troops earn $0.80 at this level.
1,359 more packages (151 a girl) reach $0.80 a package.
| Per-girl average | A package | Early bird |
|---|---|---|
| 1–300 packages | $0.75 | $0.80 |
| 301–400 packages | $0.80 | $0.85 |
| 401–600 packages | $0.85 | $0.90 |
| 601+ packages | $0.90 | $0.95 |

How it is worked out
- Per-girl average = packages sold ÷ girls selling.
- Find the tier that average falls in on your council's proceeds table.
- Troop proceeds = that tier's rate × every package sold (not only the ones above the tier line).
Councils differ, and some pay a little more for early orders or when an older troop opts out of girl rewards. Your council's guide and its statement are the official numbers.
