Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does your freelance rate calculator work?
My freelance rate calculator is a free Google Sheet that helps you determine the exact rate to charge based on your income goals, lifestyle, and workload. It walks you through your expenses, ideal hours, and target salary to help you set a sustainable freelance hourly rate or project rate. It’s built for creative freelancers and consultants who want to stop guessing and start charging with confidence.
2. Is this freelance pricing calculator just for new freelancers?
Nope! If you’re new to freelancing, it can help you establish a clear baseline for what to charge. Seasoned pros can use it to reassess their rates as they grow. It’s especially useful before raising your rates or introducing new offers.
3. Can this help me price different types of freelance services?
Yes! This freelance calculator is flexible enough for a wide range of services, from copywriting and design to coaching and consulting. It helps you calculate an hourly rate, but it’s just as useful if you price by project or retainer.
4. Will I get access to anything else with the calculator?
You’ll also receive a how-to guide that explains how to use the calculator, plus tips for setting freelance rates with confidence. After signing up, you’ll get occasional emails with helpful freelancing tips. You can unsubscribe anytime.
