How It Helps Artists
Many artists undercharge simply because they don’t know how to price their work professionally. This calculator gives you clarity and confidence by helping you:
-
Understand the real cost of creating your art — from canvas to varnish, from studio rent to electricity
-
Include overheads and admin costs — so your business expenses are fairly accounted for in every artwork
-
Factor in packaging and shipping — ensuring you never lose money on delivering your art
-
Set a profit margin — so your art earns what it deserves, whether 40%, 60%, or 100%
-
Price consistently and confidently — across all artworks and platforms
It’s like having a personal accountant dedicated to your art, without the complicated spreadsheets or stress.
Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1: Materials & Costs — List everything used in your artwork, add prices, and let the calculator total your material costs.
Step 2: Overheads & Admin Costs — Include studio rent, electricity, website, marketing, and other ongoing business expenses. The calculator divides these fairly per artwork.
Step 3: Packaging & Shipping — Add boxes, bubble wrap, courier fees, insurance, or hand-delivery costs to see the real expense of getting your work to buyers.
