Graphic Design - What to Charge?
- Thread starter Falguni
- Start date
Hourly rate x amount of hours it is going to take you
or
Single page design cost x 14
or
Single page design cost x 14
Yeah sorry that's the 2 calculation options, you have to decide on the cost.
I have no idea what a fair price is as it depends what needs to be done exactly; 14 pages all completely different with lots of illustration for example is going to cost a lot more than 14 template pages just needing a bit of text changing.

Hi Falguni,
I hope you are having a good Thursday? I have a couple of questions:
What size will your booklet be?
What kind of content will be needed inside the booklet?
Really, it's all about how long it may take someone to create your design, layout and final artwork.
Hope this helps? Any further questions just ask us. We are all here to help you.

It’ll need to be 12 or 16 pages. Can’t have a 14-page booklet, unless you have one tipped in page.
I started writing this a few days ago - it's not finished - but should give a good idea how to proceeed
This way - your price list will show your client what to expect cost wise.
Basically select what is required - plain text, to infographics, to charts/graphs, to stock images, editing
It looks complicated - but it's like a menu - I went far too deep
That's why I haven't finished the below - because it's too much to reduce it to a basic menu
But it's up to you - this how I would start a pricing package
Shows the client what to expect - and if they come back asking for a 64 page booklet - then you can refer to the price list depending on the content required.
Or keep the price list to yourself - and just tell the client your project is ranked as intricate on our estimate and it's approximately X amount.
However, this is just an estimate and final cost may be higher/lower.
A booklet can't be 14 pages for starters...
Anyway - whatever your hourly rate is.
You might have
Setup = £50 (can be waived at your discretion)
4 page cover - Complex = £150
8 pages text - Elementary = £75
2 pages infographics = £150 (ad hoc)
2 pages graphs/charts = £50
=£475
- setup = £50 (also your hourly fee for example)
With the below scale your client will know what to expect in terms of pricing.
Setup is £50 then: Per 4 pages
Elementary - £25
+Plain Text
Basic - £50
+Images (supplied no editing)
Moderate - £75
+Tables
Intermediate - £100
+Graphs/Charts
Advanced - £125
+Photo Editing
Complex - £150
+Stock Illustrations/Stock Images
Intricate - £175
+Editing Stock/Supplied Files
Ad Hoc depending on the complexity
Proficient - £200
+Special Folding/Requirements
Advanced - £250
+Special Finishes/UV Spot/Die Cut/Embossing, etc.
Expert - £300
Infographics
Masterful - £400
+Packaging
Pinnacle - £600
+Video/Animation
