Fishing Vessel Share Calculator

Overview

Most UK inshore and day boats still pay their crew on the share: the trip's landings, less the common running costs, are split between the boat and the crew, and the crew's part is divided by share units. It's fair and simple in principle, but keeping it straight across hundreds of trips, relief crew, half-shares, advances and owner-only costs is hard work. This workbook does the arithmetic for every trip, prints settlements and crew statements, totals each person's earnings for the tax year and shows what the boat actually makes once maintenance, insurance, quota leasing and depreciation are paid.

Quick start

Up and running in minutes

  1. Example – text
  1. Settings – Enter the vessel name, PLN, owner and port, pick the tax year and how the year runs, then set your share system: net or gross method, the boat's share %, and the commission, dues and levy percentages from your sale notes. Name your 8 main species and check the owner-only cost categories.
  2. Crew – List everyone who sails on the share with their role, usual share units (1.00 = a full share), National Insurance number and UTR. Mark the skipper-owner as Owner = Yes.
  3. Trip Log – Add one line per trip when you get the sale note: date landed, days at sea, kg and £ for each species, fuel litres and £, ice, food and any other common costs. Type Y under each crew member who sailed.
  4. Boat Costs & Quota Leasing – Log owner-only bills (repairs, gear, insurance, licences, moorings and so on) and any quota you lease in.
  5. Settle the crew – Use Trip Settlement after each trip, or Crew Statement for a week or a month – both print on one A4 page.
  6. Review – Check the Dashboard, Boat P&L and Species & Fuel each month, and use Crew Earnings at the end of the tax year.
