The Business Side of Art
Pricing artwork fairly, managing commissions and understanding gallery economics are essential skills for any professional artist. Underpricing means working for less than minimum wage, while overpricing can mean no sales at all.
The artwork pricing calculator helps you set fair prices based on materials, time, size and experience level. Our gallery commission calculator shows your take-home amount after gallery commission (typically 40-60%) and VAT.
For commission work, the commission calculator helps you quote accurately including deposits, revision rounds and licensing fees. The hourly rate calculator shows your effective hourly rate so you can ensure your pricing reflects your time investment.
