Overview

Most freelancers guess their rates and undercharge. This calculator works backward from what you want to earn: enter your income goal, costs, and working hours, and it shows the hourly and day rates that actually get you there. A project pricing tab helps you quote fixed prices with a margin built in.

What is included

  • Rate calculator working back from income goals
  • Project pricing tab with margin control
  • Cost of doing business worksheet
  • Rate comparison view for raising prices

Who it is for

  • New freelancers setting rates for the first time
  • Experienced freelancers who suspect they undercharge

  2. 2Enter your income goal and realistic billable hours.
  3. 3Read your minimum and target rates.
  4. 4Use the project tab to quote fixed prices.

I was undercharging by 40 percent

Seeing my real cost of doing business laid out was uncomfortable and necessary. I raised my rates with actual numbers behind them and not a single client pushed back.
