# What is a rate card, and when would my club use one?

> How rate-card pricing works: named tiers of weekly class minutes mapped to one monthly tuition per athlete.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * A rate card is a **named** set of tier rows — weekly class minutes → monthly price. Athletes in programs on that card pay **one** monthly tuition set by their **total** weekly class minutes across the programs on the card, not a price per program.
  * Tiers resolve by range: each row's minutes value is that tier's **inclusive upper bound**. The lowest row covers 0 through its bound, each later row starts one minute above the row below, and the highest row is open-ended.
  * **Weekly** and **Per Hour** are derived display columns, never inputs: Weekly is the monthly price ÷ 4, and Per Hour spreads that weekly figure over the row's minutes. The open-ended top row has no fixed minutes, so its Per Hour cell stays blank.
  * Your club can keep **several** named cards (say *Competitive Dues* and *Option B 2026-27*). Tiers resolve per card — each has its own rows and its own ladder.
  * Rate cards are available on plans that include **Rate Cards** — if you don't see them under **Settings → Financials**, ask your Uplifter contact.
  * Reading the page needs permission to view financials or to edit training. Creating and editing cards needs permission to edit financials.

The page states the model in one line: *"Athletes in rate-card programs pay one monthly tuition set by their total weekly class minutes across the programs on their card."*

**Reading a tier ladder.** Say a card has rows at 180 minutes, 300 minutes, and a final open-ended row. Those price 0–180, 181–300, and 301+ min/wk. An athlete in a 90-minute class and a 120-minute class totals 210 minutes a week, so they land in the middle band and pay that row's monthly price — one amount, covering both classes.

**When the model fits.** Rate cards suit hours-based tuition — competitive squads and team dues, where more training time should cost more per month but at a lower effective hourly rate. The Per Hour column is there so you can check the ladder rewards volume the way you intend.

**When it doesn't.** A rate card only applies to monthly recurring, whole-program enrollment. Flat one-time fees, annual dues, and sign-up-per-class programs stay on fixed pricing, and pass and membership price overrides don't apply to rate-card tuition — the tier is the price.
