Photography pricing can be tricky, with so many factors to consider. From hourly rates to editing fees, it’s easy to overlook hidden costs. This tool breaks it all down for you, step by step, making your pricing process simple and stress-free.
How Does It Work?
The calculator takes into account all the major factors that affect photography pricing:
- Hourly Rate: The cost of the photographer’s time per hour.
- Hours Worked: The total time spent shooting.

- Studio Rental Fee: Costs for renting a photography studio, if required.
- Assistant Fee: Costs for hiring an assistant to help during the shoot.

| Usage Rights Fee | $300.00 |
| Editing Fee (10 images) | $500.00 |
