Frequently asked questions
How do you price a photo session?
Multiply your time (shoot plus editing) by your hourly rate, add fixed costs and a profit margin. The calculator does this for you and suggests three package tiers.
How much should a photo session cost?
It depends on your time, costs and market. Instead of guessing, enter your numbers and the calculator works out a profitable price and the price per photo.
How do you set a photographer's price list?
Start from your own costs and target margin, not from competitors' prices. The calculator shows a basic, standard and premium package based on your numbers.
What margin should photography services have?
A markup of a few dozen percent over costs is common, to cover risk and growth. In the calculator you set the margin and instantly see your profit.
Is the pricing calculator free?
Yes, it is completely free and needs no signup. The result is a starting point, so adjust it to your market, region and experience.
