Fireworks Show Calculator: Size Your Show and Your Budget
Planning a fireworks show means balancing how long you want it to run against how many shells that actually requires, and what that will cost. This calculator ties those numbers together.
The Formula
Total Shells = ceil(Show Duration × Shells per Minute), Total Budget = Total Shells × Cost per Shell
Worked Example
A 20-minute show firing 5 shells per minute at $25 per shell.
Total Shells = ceil(20 × 5) = 100, Total Budget = 100 × $25 = $2,500
