Freelancer Pricing Calculator — Ready-to-Use Digital Toolkit

Build a freelance rate from your own numbers—not an online average.

Set a take-home goal, annual business costs, working weeks, time off, non-billable hours and utilisation. The workbook calculates a cost-recovery rate, target hourly rate and day rate.

Before you send a quote, compare service prices and see how actual hours, project costs, discounts, payment fees and delayed payment affect your effective rate and cash flow.
