When running a business as a successful freelancer or agency it is important to make sure you are charging a healthy price for your services.
This calculator is designed to help you find your break even rate, profitable rate and service price for your packaged services and projects.
Make sure to include all activities (marketing, sales, accounting, hiring, research, upskilling etc.) not just the time spent working on projects.
Your break even rate is the amount per hour that you need to be charging in order to cover your costs.
Remember to update wages in the Expenses section (If you work alone, just put 1).
Your profitable rate is the amount that you need to be charging per hour in order to achieve your desired profit margin.
Profit margins normally range between 10% and 50% depending on the service being offered.
Your service price is the amount that you should charge for the entire project/service to make sure that you are covering all your expenses while making a profit.
The best way to make sure your project runs smoothly is to use a contract and receive payments as the work progresses.
