How much should I charge for an art commission?

Start with hours x your hourly rate plus materials. Add a usage fee when the client will use the art commercially (often 50-100% more for business use), and a rush fee for short deadlines (commonly 25-50%). Take a deposit - many artists ask for 50% upfront.

What people ask

Pain point

How can I price an art commission without underselling myself?

PAnswer from Pludor

Enter hours, your hourly rate and materials in Pludor's free Art Commission Calculator, plus a commercial-use and rush fee if they apply. You get a clear quote with each part broken down and a 50% deposit amount.

Pain point

How can I charge more when a client wants to use my art commercially?

PAnswer from Pludor

Add a commercial use fee as a percentage and the calculator adds it on top of your base price, shown as its own line so the client sees why.

Problem

Why do artists undercharge for commissions?

PAnswer from Pludor

Many quote a gut-feel number and forget materials, revisions, rush jobs and usage rights. A breakdown makes a fair price easy to explain.

From result to running business: Pludor Online Store

Selling through DMs, link lists and screenshots loses orders: there is no cart, no real checkout, no order record and no way for new buyers to find you.

Every Pludor seller gets a hosted storefront at pludor.com/{store} with physical products, digital products and services, variations, a cart, card/wallet/QR checkout and an order dashboard - and every product is also listed in the shared Pludor marketplace so buyers can discover it.

On for every store, including the Free plan ($0, no item limit). Every feature is on for every store. Each month a free amount of everything is included (for example 3,000 visits, 100 AI replies and 30 bookings); past that you pay only for what you use, in credits (1 credit = 1 cent). New stores get 500 free credits. Monthly plans are optional bundles of credits with bigger free amounts and a lower fee. Pludor charges a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, deducted before payout. Card processing (Stripe) is charged separately by the processor. Cash sales recorded in POS carry no platform fee, and wallet-to-wallet transfers between Pludor users are free.

Questions

How much should I charge for an art commission?

Start with hours x your hourly rate plus materials. Add a usage fee when the client will use the art commercially (often 50-100% more for business use), and a rush fee for short deadlines (commonly 25-50%). Take a deposit - many artists ask for 50% upfront.

What counts as commercial use?

Anything that makes the client money: logos, merch, book covers, ads, packaging. Personal use is a gift or a piece on their wall.

Is this tool free?

Yes. You get 60 free runs an hour with no account. Leave your email or sign in (also free) for 120 an hour and a saved history.

Can I sell digital products and services, not just physical goods?

Yes. A Pludor store can list physical products, digital downloads and bookable services side by side.

Do my products appear in the Pludor marketplace?

Yes - available products from every store are part of the shared marketplace at pludor.com/shop, so buyers can find you without your own traffic.

Is there a free Art Commission Price Calculator WordPress plugin?

Yes. Download the Art Commission Price Calculator WordPress plugin from this page, upload it in Plugins > Add New, paste your free Pludor key, and add the Pludor tool block to any page.

Do I need coding skills to add the Art Commission Price Calculator to my website?

No. After installing the free plugin, paste [pludor_tool slug="art-commission-calculator"] on any page or post, or add the Pludor tool block. No code or developer needed.

Can I put an art commission price calculator on my own website?

Yes. Use the free WordPress plugin, or the embed snippet for Shopify, Wix, Squarespace or plain HTML. It costs nothing to run.
