The Ultimate Pricing Template
for Artists and Makers
Take the guesswork (and the math) out of pricing your art, craft, or handmade products!
With these detailed plug-and-play pricing spreadsheets and how-to videos!
Pricing. Nothing brings as much fear, anxiety, and doubt into the minds of artists and makers as having to put a cold hard number on something you poured your heart and soul into.
Look, I get it. If you're anything like most artists and makers I know, you'll do anything to avoid the dreaded math behind actually figuring out what you need to be charging for your art or handmade products.
But if you're trying to build a profitable business, this head-in-the-sand strategy will only get you so far. At some point, you've got to actually take a look at your numbers.
And that's where I come in.
After over a decade of teaching artists and makers to price their work effectively (and watching people panic when it comes to actually doing the math) I decided to do something about it.
Enter The Ultimate Pricing Template for Artists and Makers.
These plug-and-play spreadsheets take the guesswork (and the math) out of pricing your art and handmade products!
What you get in the Ultimate Pricing Template for Artists and Makers:
Google Spreadsheet Pricing Templates
Instant unlimited lifetime access to the plug-and-play Google Spreadsheets to help you calculate every aspect of your pricing from materials to labor to expenses to PROFIT at both wholesale AND retail price.
Value-Based Pricing Training
This training takes you into the theory behind the Ultimate Pricing Template! In this 30-minute video, I walk you through the pricing philosophy I've been teaching artists and makers for the past decade and show you how it forms the foundation for the Ultimate Pricing Template.
Template How-To Video
No guessing about how to use the templates. This 30-minute how-to video walks you through every aspect of how to use the spreadsheets to calculate your prices with confidence!
Bonus #1: Pricing Templates for Faire Sellers
If you sell wholesale on Faire (or dream of doing so one day), you know that the 25% commission off wholesale is a big deal. But with the commission worked into this version of the spreadsheets, you can be confident that every sale on Faire is still profitable.
Bonus #2: Pricing Templates for Etsy Sellers
These spreadsheets will help you navigate the new fee structure on Etsy, with templates for all sellers at the current 6.5% fee and for sellers subject to the 15% advertising surcharge.
So what are you waiting for?
Stop pulling numbers out of thin air and start pricing with confidence.
“I was never a spreadsheet person until I started using this template. There is a lot of information that goes into pricing, but Megan has made it easy to plug in and extract the numbers I need. I now feel confident that I am pricing my work profitably.”

Hey there, I'm Megan Auman!
I've been teaching artists and makers like yourself how to price their art and products for over a decade! But I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk!
As an artist and maker myself, I understand the challenges behind putting a number to something you poured your heart and soul into.
That's why I created The Ultimate Pricing Template, to take the guesswork, the math, and the emotion out of pricing your art or handmade products!
Got questions? I've got answers!
Who is the Ultimate Pricing Template for?
The Ultimate Pricing Template is designed for any artist or maker creating physical products. This could range from one-of-a-kind art to multiples to full-on production lines. The Ultimate Pricing Spreadsheet is designed to work if you are a solo maker or if you employ full or part-time production help.
If you're a metalsmith, jewelry designer, ceramic artist, studio potter, textile designer, sewer, knitter, crocheter, fiber artist, book maker, woodworker, glass artist, sculptor, painter, printmaker, collage artist, or product designer, the Ultimate Pricing Template will help you price your work with confidence!
How does the Ultimate Pricing Template work?
When you purchase the Ultimate Pricing Template, you'll instantly receive a downloadable PDF with everything you need. That includes links to all four versions of the Google Sheet (the standard version, as well as the version for Faire sellers, and two versions for Etsy sellers) as well as links to the video walk-through and value-based pricing training.
When you click on the link for any of the spreadsheets, you'll be prompted to make a copy which you'll be able to access at any time via your Google account. If you prefer, you can also download the spreadsheets to use as an Excel document.
How many products can I price with the Ultimate Pricing Template?
Each spreadsheet is designed to price 25 products at a time but you can make as many copies as you need to price different products and collections. Basically, there's no limit to the amount of art or products you can price with the Ultimate Pricing Template!
Will the Ultimate Pricing Template work for digital products or online classes?
Unfortunately, no. The Ultimate Pricing Template is designed for artists and makers creating physical products.
Can I use the Ultimate Pricing Template for my taxes?
Sorry, no. I'm not a tax professional and the Ultimate Pricing Template is not designed as tax or financial advice. But you are more than welcome to show your spreadsheets to your accountant when it comes time to look at your numbers! Chances are, they'll love to see them and be so thrilled by your incredibly detailed numbers that you'll win the best client award! (If there was such a thing!)
I have no idea where to start when it comes to pricing my art or handmade products! Will the Ultimate Pricing Template help?
Absolutely! You might find that you need to gather a little bit of data before you can actually start using the Template, but the good news is the Template and accompanying videos will show you where there are gaps in your numbers and help you figure out what data to start gathering!
I've been in business for years! Will the Ultimate Pricing Template help?
Yep! Even artists and makers who have been in business for years have found the Ultimate Pricing Template to be an incredible tool for understanding the numbers behind their businesses.
Can I access the Ultimate Pricing Template at any time?
Yes! When you purchase, you get full, lifetime access to the spreadsheets and videos. So you can purchase now to take advantage of the special deal and work through the spreadsheets when it's convenient for you.
I'm still not sure if the Ultimate Pricing Template is right for me?
