Stop guessing what to charge.

A free calculator that turns your income goal, your costs and your time into a price you can quote with confidence.

Who this is for

Built for you if this sounds familiar.

You are about to quote your first clients
You suspect you are charging too little
You want a price based on numbers and not on what others charge
You price a package by guessing the hours, and the hidden work catches you out

What you get

What is inside.

Your minimum rate

The lowest hourly and day rate that still pays you what you need, after tax and business costs.

Your recommended rate

Your minimum plus a safety margin for quiet months, discounts and late payers.

A package price

The price of one package or project, counting the hours the client does not see, rounded to a clean number.

A reality check

Test three prices and see how many sales each needs a month, and whether you have the hours.

What is it?

A simple spreadsheet for anyone who sells a service and is not sure what to charge. You type in what you want to earn, what the business costs and how much time you have. It gives you your minimum price and a recommended price.
