We usually divide the total cost of expenses like the venue, lunch and my travel, lodging, and facilitator's fee by the expected number of attendees, then add on 25% to that amount to give us "cushion". This is not a terribly profitable model - often they only break even, and a few times it has *not* paid for the venue, or even my fees - but it seems to keep it low enough that people don't mind paying.
Usually we end up with a small profit, which we donate to various worthy causes. No one has ever complained about the cost, even without "professional" instructors and such.
