Photo booth pricing calculator
Most operators set their prices by looking at what competitors charge. Those prices don't reflect your costs, your time or the profit you want. A price that works for an operator with paid-off equipment and no travel won't work for someone who bought a booth on finance and drives 90 minutes to every booking.
Put in what an event costs you to run, what you want to earn for your time, and how many events you do, and the calculator gives you the price to charge.
If the result is well above what you charge now, you've been undercharging.
