Start with days of delay and one cost, such as monthly rent.

How we calculate

Fixed: (rent × chargeable days) + (CAM + utilities & security + staff × monthly cost) × days ÷ 30. Chargeable days = delay minus rent-free days left.
Lost margin: daily sales × gross margin × festive multiplier (if on) × days. We count margin, not revenue, because that is what you actually lose.
Stalled stock: stock value × holding % per month × days ÷ 30. Markdown risk if the season turns is not included.
Penalties & fees: mall penalty per day × days + one-off penalty + unrecoverable vendor and event fees.
Marketing: launch spend × share wasted + re-launch spend.
All figures × stores. Every day late = the per-day items only. Blank fields count as zero.
