Photographer Profit Planner
Figure out your true monthly overhead, your break-even session count, and a pricing floor that actually supports your business. (This is educational only — always consult your tax pro for exact rates.)
1) Income Goal
Start with what you want to pay yourself and what you can realistically book.
Tip: “Variable cost” is anything that happens per session (gas, prints/packaging, assistants, snacks, permits, etc.).
2) Monthly Overhead
These are recurring expenses that exist even if you shoot zero sessions.
3) Gear Replacement Fund
Optional, but this is how you avoid “surprise” camera/lens emergencies.
If you leave this blank, we’ll treat it as $0/mo. If you fill it, we’ll spread it monthly.
