Photographer & Videographer Spreadsheet 2026

The complete spreadsheet for 1099 photographers and videographers. You get paid for the shoot, but you bleed hours in the edit. This shows you what each booking actually earns.

All in one file:

- Effective rate per project, counting shooting, editing, travel and delivery (a $1,500 booking that ate 22 hours is not what it looks like)

- Deposit and balance tracker, so no final payment slips through after you send the gallery

- Gear log that separates smaller buys under the $2,500 de minimis safe harbor from bigger ones for Section 179

- Mileage log at 72.5 cents per mile for 2026

- Quarterly tax set-aside (the 25 to 30 percent rule) and the four IRS deadlines

- Shoot-by-shoot profit, so you see which packages and client types actually pay

Built for 2026. Works in Excel and Google Sheets.

Pay once, $29. Yours forever. No app, no monthly fee, your client data stays with you.
