The Freelance Project Profitabilty Tool

Post Mortem — Project Profitability Calculator

You quoted three weeks. It ran to five. The client asked for extra revisions - nicely, apologetically - in a way that made saying no feel harder than just doing the work. The invoice got paid. You moved on. What you probably didn't do is work out what you actually earned per hour on that job.

Post Mortem does the calculation cleanly and without sentiment. Enter what you quoted, what you spent, and the hours you really worked. It gives you your true effective hourly rate, puts a dollar figure on every extra you absorbed, and tells you plainly whether that job cost you or made you money.

Run it on every project. Build the history. Start to see which clients, which job types, and which pricing structures are actually working in your favour — and which ones are quietly draining you while feeling like income.

One-off download. No subscription. No account. Includes scope creep detector and project history.
