Here are the links to the codb calculator and codb sample I’ve created.

This is the calculator I’ve created to help me determine my package pricing. I run this every time I revise my packages. By using it I discovered I was almost losing money on wedding albums. I immediately changed my prices.

You can’t stay in business as a photographer unless you are a business person first, and a photographer second.
