About this product

Most freelancers set their rate by guessing or by copying someone else.

Read the full description

Most freelancers set their rate by guessing or by copying someone else. This workbook works backwards from the income you want, your costs and the hours you can really bill, then tracks whether your projects actually earn that rate.

What is inside:

  • Rate Calculator: monthly take-home you need, set-aside percentage, buffer, 12 cost lines (monthly or yearly), working days, leave, holidays and billable share of your hours, giving the lowest workable rate, the rate to quote, a day rate and a VAT-inclusive rate, plus a table showing the rate you need if you can bill more or fewer hours
  • Project Quote: tasks and hours, a risk buffer, job costs with a handling mark-up, price, VAT, deposit, and a table showing your effective hourly rate if the job runs over
  • Project Tracker for 30 projects: effective hourly rate against your target, hours over the estimate and a rate check
  • Profitability Summary: average effective rate, money by stage (quoted, in progress, delivered, invoiced, paid) and client concentration with a flag
  • Monthly Tracker for 12 months: take-home against target, cumulative difference and a chart
  • Worked Example for a fictional designer, all five tools
  • Instructions sheet and README

Who it is for: freelancers, consultants and one-person studios.

What it is not: it does not calculate tax. The set-aside percentage is yours, so ask your accountant what fits your case, and check with your accountant or the FTA for your case. It does not know licence or visa fees: enter your own. The rate is a floor for your planning, not a price the market will pay. Rates exclude VAT unless stated.

Requirements: Microsoft Excel 2016 or later, Google Sheets or LibreOffice Calc.
