Know Your Numbers

Two simple tools. Total clarity.

Most bridal artists have never sat down and really looked at their numbers. These two tools change that. Fill them in, sit with what comes up, and then have a proper conversation with your accountant.

What gets measured gets managed.

A note before you start: these are awareness tools to help you see how you're doing, not accountancy software. They don't account for tax, VAT or any financial or legal obligations. For your real profit margin and your tax, always sit down with a qualified accountant. Think of these as your own personal gauge, a way to start asking the right questions.

Income Goal Calculator

Start with the number you want to earn, then work backwards to what you need to charge. Simple, clear, and genuinely eye-opening for most artists who have never done this calculation before.

What it tells you

Your current projected annual income, including your trials
The gap between where you are and where you want to be
Exactly what you need to charge per wedding to hit your goal
How many extra weddings you'd need as an alternative

Cost of Goods Calculator

What does it actually cost you to show up to a wedding? Most artists have never added it all up. This tool counts everything, including the hours most people forget, and shows you your real effective hourly rate.

What it tells you

Your true cost per wedding
The real value of your time, including all the invisible hours
How much each wedding costs you, in time and in money
Your effective hourly rate, the number that changes everything

These tools are for awareness only and are not accountancy software. They do not account for tax, VAT or any financial or legal obligations. Always work with a qualified accountant for your financial and tax needs.
