What Art Price Lab Is

Art Price Lab is a pricing calculator for working artists. You put in your dimensions, time, and materials. It runs three pricing methods simultaneously and shows you where they land relative to each other. That range is your working price. You pick a number from inside it.

The three methods: square inch, linear span, and time plus materials. Each one looks at your work from a different angle. Square inch and linear span price based on size. Time plus materials prices based on what the piece actually cost you to make. When all three converge, the middle of that range is a strong number. When they diverge, the gap is telling you something specific.

Location-based wage data loads automatically based on where you are. That affects the hourly rate suggestion in the time plus materials calculation. You can use the suggestion or set your own.

Art Price Lab does not tell you what to charge. It gives you a structured method for arriving at a number you can defend. The rest is your call.
