Hey Friends! 👋
As freelancers, creators, and builders, we’ve all been there: a client asks for a quote, and we suddenly freeze up. We start second-guessing our value, copying what our peers charge, or worse—forgetting to account for things like self-employment taxes and software subscriptions.
I wanted to change that. I built the Freelance Rate Calculator to give independent professionals a fast, dynamic, and data-driven way to price their work.
What makes it different? It doesn't just look at market averages. If you toggle the "Advanced Options", you can plug in your real monthly bills, tool costs, and tax bracket. The tool will automatically calculate what you need to charge per billable hour to thrive, not just survive.
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
- What features or multipliers should we add next?
- What's the biggest challenge you face when pricing your work?
Thank you so much for the support, and happy freelancing! 🚀
