The Price Check

5 minutes · three numbers · one wake-up call

This works out what undercharging is quietly costing you each year. Just three quick steps.

Example: your last projects averaged £1,500. A specialist in your field charges £2,500. You take on 10 projects a year. That's £1,000 left on the table every project, so £10,000 a year.

Step 1 · What you charge now

Pop in what you charged for your last 3 projects. Fewer than 3? Just fill what you have.

Your average right now: £0

Step 2 · What you could charge

Imagine a stranger found you online, no referral, no mate's rates, and thought "that's exactly who I need". What would a confident specialist in your field charge them for the same project? Not sure? Look up two or three people you admire and use their starting price.

Step 3 · How many projects

This works out what pricing too low is quietly costing you each year. Just three quick numbers, using your bestseller.

Example: your bestselling candle is £22. A premium label charges £34 for something similar. You sell 1,500 a year. That's £12 left on the table every sale, so £18,000 a year.

Step 1 · What you charge now

Step 2 · What a premium label charges

Find two or three premium brands selling something similar to your bestseller, the ones that look like where you want to be. Pop in a typical price.

Step 3 · How many you sell

Your Premium Gap is costing you roughly
£0
a year (£0 per project)

This is one product. Multiply it across your range and the number gets bigger. This isn't about doubling your prices overnight. It's about knowing what the gap is worth, so investing in closing it stops feeling like a cost.
