## Description

You can stop guessing how much a license should cost. This MCP handles the complex math involved in photography licensing by applying specific multipliers to a base fee. It factors in how long the license lasts, where the images will be used, and the type of media involved. 

When you're negotiating a deal, you need to know two numbers: what the client pays and what you actually keep. This tool calculates the gross fee for the client and then subtracts agency commissions and taxes to give you the net payout. It's built to handle various scenarios, from local print runs to global digital campaigns, ensuring your quotes stay consistent and your margins are protected. You just provide the base fee and the usage details, and your AI client does the rest.
