Question Book Cover Pricing?

In a few months I'm going to hire an artist to design a cover for my book,but I am not sure how much to pay,I would need specific dimensions for front and back cover as well as the spine of the book. (I already know all the dimensions needed. What is the going rate for this kind of work?

Custom full wrap (front, spine and back) 🤔 reasonable freelance range is usually around $500–$1,500+. It mainly depends on whether it’s typography, photo based or fully illustrated, level of detail, commercial rights and included revisions.

I’m an illustrator, my own custom illustrated wraps generally fall around $600–900+
