You didn't become a photographer to do math. So you cross your fingers and send the quote.
Margin replaces the guesswork with real numbers — your expenses, your goals, your life. It calculates your minimum, your sweet spot, and your premium rate, then checks every proposal against your floor before you hit send. No more gut-feel pricing. No more 2am anxiety.
You set your rate based on what feels comfortable, what a friend charges, or what you're afraid the client will say. Every time you do that, you're gambling. Sometimes you win. A lot of the time, you leave hundreds — sometimes thousands — on the table.
The photographers out-earning you aren't more talented. They're pricing from knowledge, not anxiety. Margin gives you that same footing.
Set up your profile in five minutes. Margin does the math — you just show up and shoot.

Work isn't consistent enough for a monthly plan yet? No problem. On the Starter commission model, you pay nothing upfront — Margin takes 6% only when you book a job. Once you're booking regularly, the subscription saves you money — Starter at $10/mo breaks even at roughly $167 in monthly proposals. Most photographers hit that on their first job.
