Practical guide

How to Use the Digital Art Commission Price Calculator

Digital art commission pricing should cover more than drawing time. The brief, research, communication, revisions, file preparation, licensing and payment costs all consume value or capacity.

Estimate the full workflow

Include discovery, sketches, client communication, rendering, revisions and export. Track actual hours so future estimates improve.

License usage explicitly

Personal display, social promotion, merchandise and exclusive commercial rights are different permissions. Put usage, duration and exclusivity in writing.

Control revision scope

Define included rounds and approval stages. A revision changes agreed work; a new concept after approval may be a scope change.

Questions answered

Digital Art Commission Price Calculator FAQs

How do artists calculate commission prices?

Estimate all project hours, multiply by a sustainable rate and complexity factor, then add licensing, revisions, rush delivery and selling fees.

How much should commercial rights cost?

Commercial licensing depends on audience, duration, exclusivity, territory and business value. A percentage is a starting model, not a substitute for written usage terms.

Should revisions be included?

Include a defined number of revision rounds and state what counts as a revision. Charge for rounds or scope changes beyond that allowance.

How are platform fees handled?

This calculator grosses up the client price so the artist retains the project subtotal after the entered percentage fee.

Does the estimate transfer copyright?

No. Copyright transfer and commercial usage rights should be expressly defined in a contract and may justify a larger fee.
