Tattoo price calculator

Estimate a quote from time, hourly rate and complexity.

Estimate

€360

This is an estimate only. Adjust it to your style, costs and local rules.

Prepare a quote using your own rates. This calculator does not infer the price of a design: it helps you compare session lengths before replying to a client.

How to use this tool

  1. Estimate the session length in hours. Decimal values, such as 2.5 hours, are supported.
  2. Enter your hourly rate, based on your costs and how you price your work.
  3. Choose a complexity coefficient and review the result before adding it to a quote.

Method and limits

The formula is time × hourly rate × coefficient. Simple uses 1; detailed uses 1.25; very detailed uses 1.5. These are this tool’s coefficients, not industry pricing standards. If complexity is already reflected in your time estimate, keep the coefficient at 1 to avoid counting it twice.

A worked example

A 3-hour session at €120 per hour gives €360 with the simple coefficient, or €450 with the detailed coefficient. Consider drawing time, supplies, your session minimum and applicable taxes separately. This tool currently uses euros.
