Saatchi Art commission.
Saatchi Art takes 40% of the price of an original. You keep 60%. On open-edition prints you keep 60% of the profit after production costs. Listing is free. Source: Saatchi Art’s help center, checked August 2026.
Saatchi Art calls 40% below the gallery standard of 50%, and it is. It buys the largest audience for original art online, a checkout that handles the buyer, and buyer protection that makes people comfortable paying four figures to a stranger.
One sale
| Price | Saatchi Art keeps | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| $600 | $240 | $360 |
| $1,200 | $480 | $720 |
| $3,000 | $1,200 | $1,800 |
Worth it when
You paint across subjects and want volume of eyes. You sell originals above $1,000 and would rather pay for the buyer than find the buyer.
Not worth it when
Most of your sales come from people who already know you. Then 40% taxes your own audience. A page with 0% commission and inquiries to your inbox does the same job for $35 a month, and two $1,200 sales a year already cost $960 in commission on Saatchi Art. All ten platforms, compared.
