Budget estimate

$25,000 – $60,000

The university’s anticipated annual airfare spend is about $500,000. Assuming a typical travel‑agency commission or fee structure of 5‑12 % of gross airfare, the vendor’s revenue could range from roughly $25,000 to $60,000 per year. Extensions could increase total earnings proportionally.
