It cost that much bc it takes me fucking hours dawg…
3 things every motion designer should know when pricing their work and time👇
01 — Know your day rate
Entry level (1–2 yrs): ~$350/day
Mid level: $400–$650/day
Senior: $750–$1,000/day
02 — Price your days to build your project rate
Don’t start at your base. Add 10–15% on top for taxes, overhead, and the inevitable “can we just tweak one thing.” They’re going to negotiate down, so build in the room before they ask.
03 — Don’t negotiate against yourself
Your rate isn’t arbitrary. It’s your hours, your experience, your render times at 2am. Hold the number.
If they push back, you already padded for it. If they don’t — great, that’s yours.
Know your worth before the brief hits your inbox.
