Rate & Pricing Calculators
Tools to calculate what to charge clients — hourly rates, day rates, project quotes, retainer pricing, and value-based fees.
Undercharging is the most common financial mistake freelancers make. These calculators work backwards from your actual costs — taxes, expenses, vacation, and desired income — to give you a rate that covers everything. Whether you charge hourly, per day, per project, or on retainer, use these tools before quoting any client.
