    price you can say out loud without flinching.

    You finish a piece, open the listing, and there is the empty box where the price goes. Too high and who do you think you are; too low and you feel a little sick. Most artists solve this by guessing, and then carry that guess around like a question they never answered.

    Three methods, one screen

    Square inch, linear inch, and time + materials calculated in parallel. Where they converge is your confident range. Where they disagree tells you something about the piece.

    Your market, not a myth

    Suggested hourly rates built from verified minimum wage and cost-of-living data across 50+ states and countries. An artist in Zurich should not price like an artist in Tulsa.

    Your career stage, honestly

    New, emerging, or established, the multiplier adjusts to where you are, so the number is ambitious without being delusional.

    Every piece remembered

    Save unlimited artworks with photos, sizes, and final prices. The next piece prices itself in a fraction of the time, and your history becomes your own market data.

    How it works

    Three steps from idea to done

    01

    Enter the work

    Size, medium, hours, materials. About a minute. Your location fills in the market-rate suggestion automatically.

    02

    Read all three numbers

    The three methods land on the screen together. The convergence zone is your defensible range.

    03

    Decide and save

    Pick the number you believe, save the piece, and move on to making the next one.

    Is there really a formula for pricing art?

    No single magic one, and anyone selling you one is lying. What exists is structure: defensible inputs that give you a floor and a range. The final call is still yours. The calculator just makes sure it is an informed call.

    What if the 'right' price feels too high for my market?

    The tool shows you your floor, the number below which you are paying to make the work. Knowing that line does not make a soft market easy. It makes you impossible to exploit.

    A price you can say out loud without flinching.
