Questions

Are the prices in the calculator recommended rates?

No. They are placeholders so the maths works straight away. Replace every figure with your own prices; nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere, apart from the details you give to unlock the full quote.

Should travel be charged per mile or as a flat fee?

Either works, as long as the client can see how you got the number. Many UK artists charge a per-mile rate for the round trip beyond a free radius (45p a mile matches HMRC's approved mileage rate for the first 10,000 business miles), and add parking, congestion or ULEZ charges at cost.

How big should a bridal deposit be?

Many artists take 25-50% to secure the date. Whatever you choose, it should reflect the real cost of holding the date for that client. Our free contract template covers how the deposit works if the client cancels.

Do I need to add VAT?

Only if you are VAT registered. If you are not, leave the VAT box unticked and keep an eye on your turnover against the VAT registration threshold (currently £90,000).
