Photography Print Pricing Calculator
A simple approach to calculating print prices from lab cost, margin target, and market rate — no spreadsheet template required.
A workable formula: take the lab's production cost, multiply by three to five for a standard print (more for larger or framed products), then sanity-check the result against what similar studios charge locally.
Once set, that pricing lives on a reusable price sheet in lemon.gallery, attached to any gallery, so the calculation only needs doing once rather than per client.
Frequently asked questions
Should shipping be built into the print price or charged separately?
Either works; building it in keeps checkout simpler, while charging separately is more transparent about the actual cost breakdown.
