The Ultimate Staging Pricing Calculator: Take the Guesswork Out of Pricing
May 21, 2025
Hitting a Wall With Your Pricing Strategy?
If you’ve ever asked yourself:
-
“Am I charging too much—or not enough?”
-
“How do other stagers figure out their prices?”
-
“Why does it feel like I’m working nonstop but not making enough?”
…then you're not alone.
Pricing is one of the most common and costly mistakes home stagers make. Too often, creatives guess at what to charge or base their rates on what competitors are doing—without knowing if they’re even profitable.
The result? You hustle hard and still feel like you're falling short.
Why Pricing Wrong Is Hurting Your Business
When your pricing isn’t rooted in your actual costs and goals, you:
-
Burn out faster from overworking low-paying jobs
-
Attract the wrong clients who haggle or undervalue your work
-
Struggle to scale or outsource because your margins are too thin
-
End up with a “busy but broke” business
You didn’t start your staging business to chase pennies.
You started it to be profitable and make an impact.
That’s where the Ultimate Staging Pricing Calculator comes in.

Why I Created This Calculator
When I first started staging in 2006, I priced based on what others were charging or what I thought I could get — and it almost killed my business.
Eventually, I realized I needed a pricing system that actually reflected my costs, time, and the value of my work. That’s when everything changed. I went from stressed and underpaid to building a million dollar staging company.
I created this calculator to give other stagers what I didn’t have: a tool that helps you run the numbers like a CEO, not guess like a freelancer.

Yes—and honestly, it’s better to start with strong pricing habits from the beginning than to fix bad ones later.
