If you need two new students to cover a Boost, one enquiry is not enough evidence that it paid off. Track who becomes a paying student and how many lessons they actually take. Record your time replying to enquiries as a cost, too.
Compare a conservative scenario with an optimistic one. If the budget works only when every student stays for months, reduce the risk or improve your offer before spending. No calculator can forecast demand for your specific tutoring business.
