This calculator helps you understand:
how much you actually need to charge per shoot
how much revenue your business needs per year
whether your current pricing covers your real costs
how your equipment, software, taxes and production costs affect your profit
how payment delays and irregular bookings damage your liquidity
whether a specific project is profitable before you accept it
Who it is for:
This tool is for photographers, videomakers, producers and creative freelancers who want to stop guessing their prices and start calculating them properly.
It is especially useful if you often ask yourself:
“Am I charging enough?”
“Why am I working so much but keeping so little?”
“How much should I charge to actually make profit?”
“What is my real cost per shoot?”
“Can I afford to accept this project?”
Important:
This is a business pricing calculator, not accounting or tax advice. Tax presets are simplified orientation numbers. You can manually enter your real tax percentage if you know it or if your accountant gives you a different rate.
You will receive a professional spreadsheet that you can copy, edit and use with your own numbers.
