Freelance EA Pricing Kit: Rate Calculator + Pricing Guide

Stop guessing what to charge.

Most new freelance EAs set their rate by copying someone else or converting their old salary. Both leave money on the table, and you won’t notice until tax season or your first slow month.

The Freelance EA Pricing Kit helps you find a rate that covers your real life, package your services so clients say yes, and talk about money without apologizing for it.

What’s inside:

Freelance EA Rate Calculator (Excel and Google Sheets)

• Enter your income goal, taxes, expenses, and time off, and get your minimum and recommended hourly rate
• Turn your rate into monthly retainer packages, with a count of how many clients you need to hit your income goal
• Quote flat-rate projects with a built-in buffer for revisions and the hours you didn’t see coming
• Compare your number with your market so you know it’s realistic

The Freelance EA Pricing Guide (6-page PDF)

• Hourly vs. retainer vs. project pricing, and when to use each
• Sample retainer packages, plus the terms to define in every agreement
• Copy-and-paste scripts for quoting your rate, handling “that’s more than I expected,” raising your rates, and managing scope creep

This kit is for you if:

• You’re planning your move to freelance and don’t know what to charge
• You’re already freelancing but your income doesn’t match your hours
• You freeze up or over-explain when a client asks about your rate

Instant download. Use the calculator in Excel, or upload it to Google Drive and open it in Google Sheets.
