For newer interior designers
Stop guessing what to charge for design work.
A pricing calculator for women building interior design businesses who need a confident fee, clear deposit, and proposal-ready language before the client sees the quote.
Made for the moment after a consult call, before you send the fee and hope it was enough.
Undercharging one project costs more than this calculator.
If your fee is based on what sounds fair, the quiet work is probably missing: revisions, sourcing, admin, overhead, client communication, and the risk that a simple room becomes a bigger job.
Estimate design, sourcing, revision, presentation, and admin time before the client sees a price.
Turn your fee into a clean deposit, scope explanation, and client-facing paragraph.
Use ready wording for what is included and how extra requests become paid changes.
Who it is for
Made for designers at the “I have clients, but pricing still scares me” stage.
You are taking consultations, sending proposals, and need your pricing to stop feeling made up.
You want your fee to cover the real work, not just the visible design hours.
You need simple, repeatable pricing for room packages, refreshes, and design days.
A pricing workflow, not another blank spreadsheet.
The workbook is structured around how a new design business actually quotes: set assumptions once, test the project, then leave with numbers and language you can use.
Yellow cells make the assumptions obvious: hours, rate, overhead, risk, margin, budget, and deposit.
The calculator rounds to a clean client-facing fee instead of an awkward formula result.
Use the generated fee explanation, scope language, and change-order wording instead of writing from scratch.
Compare the design fee against furnishing budget so the quote does not feel detached from project size.
Buyer fit
Best for designers who sell packages, rooms, and consults, not billable-hour chaos.
Use it when you quote
- Paid consultations
- Room refreshes
- Full-room design packages
- Virtual room design
- Designer-for-a-day offers
It helps you decide
- What fee protects your time
- What deposit to ask for
- When the budget and scope do not match
- What to say about revisions and extra work
It is not
- A legal contract
- A coaching program
- A bookkeeping system
- A substitute for your judgment
Studio-grade quoting
Built for the part of design work clients never see.
Good design proposals feel calm because the math underneath them is settled. This workbook gives you a pricing ritual: estimate the labor, include the overhead, protect the margin, then turn the result into language you can actually paste into a proposal.
Use it before consult calls, after a site visit, or when a room refresh starts to become a full-service project.

Questions before you quote from it
Will this fit how I price?
Yes if you need a structured starting point for consultations, room packages, virtual design, design days, or flat-fee room projects. You can edit the assumptions for hours, target rate, overhead, margin, risk buffer, furnishing budget, markup, and deposit.
Is this a coaching program?
No. It is a practical Excel pricing workbook for one moment: deciding what to charge before you send a room-project proposal.
Does it protect me legally from scope creep?
No. It includes scope and change-order wording, but it is not legal advice. Use the copy as a starting point and adjust it for your contract and market.
Are the calculator outputs guaranteed?
No. The workbook produces estimates from the assumptions you enter. Results vary by project, market, client, scope, and your own business judgment. It does not guarantee profitability, client acceptance, or a correct price for every project.
Does it work in Google Sheets or Numbers?
Excel is the supported format. Do not assume other spreadsheet apps will preserve every formula until you test your copy.
What happens after I buy?
Gumroad delivers the product zip immediately. Inside are the Excel workbook and a short read-me so you can open the file, edit the inputs, and use the proposal language.
Why is there an example preview?
The example shows the type of output the workbook creates without giving away the editable calculator. The full product is the downloadable Excel workbook with supported tabs, formulas, and instructions.
