Gallery commission split calculator

Model any consignment before you sign it. Sale price, agreed split, production and framing costs, advisor fees, and VAT — see exactly what the artist takes home and what the gallery keeps.

Convention: production and advisor fees come off the net-of-tax proceeds, then the remainder is split at the agreed percentage. Adjust to match your consignment agreement — different galleries and advisors treat these deductions differently, and the paperwork is what governs, not this tool.

Not tax or legal advice. Actual take-home depends on your consignment agreement, jurisdiction, resale royalties (droit de suite in the EU/UK), and any withholding on cross-border sales.

Frequently asked

What is art gallery management software?

Art gallery management software is a specialised system that catalogues artworks, tracks consignments with artists, records provenance and condition, manages collectors and private viewing rooms, and produces tearsheets and invoices. It replaces spreadsheets, shared drives, and generic CRMs with one purpose-built record of the gallery.

How is Aurelian different from Artlogic, Artwork Archive, or Artbutler?

Aurelian focuses on the daily workflow of a working gallery: consignments, private views, clienteling, and provenance in one place, with a modern interface and honest pricing. See our Artlogic alternatives hub and side-by-side comparisons for a full breakdown.

Can I import my existing inventory?

Yes. You can start from a CSV export of your current system or spreadsheet. We recommend running our migration playbook first so images, dimensions, editions, and provenance land cleanly.

Does it handle consignments and splits?

Consignments are a first-class object. You can record consignor, agreement terms, commission split, and status per work, and use the Gallery Commission Split Calculator to model take-home before you send an offer.

Is there a free plan?

The Artist tier is designed for a single practice at a low monthly price. Galleries typically start on Studio or Gallery. Full pricing is on the platform page.

Do you support private viewing rooms?

Yes. You can build a room per collector with selected works, prices on request, and tracked activity, then share a private link with an expiry.
