Pricing a framing job

Framing is priced from geometry and materials, not from a price list. The calculator does that arithmetic.

Start with the artwork

Enter the artwork's dimensions. Everything else derives from them, so measure the actual piece rather than what the customer thinks it is.

Choose materials

Work across the tabs — moulding, mats, glazing, hardware, mounting and extras — each with search, prices and a stock indicator so you are not selling a moulding you do not have.

Mat openings and white space

Set the mat borders, and the white space above, below and either side if the piece is to float. The computed visible art size, mat opening, glass size and outer frame size update as you type, beside a cross-section preview.

Watch the outer size on larger pieces. Glass and moulding both jump in price at certain dimensions, and a centimetre of extra mat can move a job into the next bracket.

How the price builds

Moulding is priced by the linear measure needed for the outer perimeter with an allowance for cutting; mats and glazing by area from the sheet; hardware and extras as fixed additions. Your Pricing Rules apply the markups on top.

Packages

Packages bundle a common frame, mat and glass combination at a set price. Applying one fills the calculator in a single click — useful for standard sizes and for giving a good-better-best comparison.

Ready-made frames

Stock frames at fixed sizes are a separate tab and price from stock rather than by calculation.

Quoting

Save the priced job as a quote for the customer to approve, or convert it straight to a work order and take a deposit.
