A working tool for any photographer figuring out what to charge. Plug in your real monthly overhead, set a take-home target, and choose how you bill — by the hour, or by the job. Result updates live as you type. Free, no signup, runs entirely in your browser.
Your real overhead — not what you wish it were. Estimate the monthly equivalent for annual costs.
What you want in your pocket each month after the business pays its own bills. This is your income, not revenue.
Time you actually invoice clients for — not total hours worked. Most full-time photographers bill 60–110 hours a month after admin, marketing, and unpaid prep.
How many shoots you can realistically take per month, and the total hours each one consumes (drive + shoot + edit + delivery).
