How I Calculate My Commission Prices
The simple sheet I use to quote illustration work, and why I never charge by the hour.
Price the use, not the hours
A spot for a blog and a spot for a billboard can take the same time to draw. They are not worth the same, so I start every quote with where the art will live and for how long.
Then I add rounds, rush fees and licences, and send one fixed number. Clients like knowing the total before we start.
