How It Works

Four steps from guessing to knowing.

01

Set your floor

Your income goal, taxes, overhead, and unbillable hours create the minimum rate you can sustainably charge. Most freelancers have never calculated this number. It’s usually 40–80% higher than what they’re charging.

02

Benchmark the market

Your floor is personal math. The market is external reality. We map your rate against real wage data across 391 metro areas so you can see where you actually sit — not where you think you sit.

03

Adjust for the work

A routine maintenance task and a high-stakes strategy engagement should not live in the same pricing universe. Your skill level, project complexity, and the type of work you do all shift the number.

04

See the full picture

Every assumption is visible. Every multiplier is explained. You get a range — floor, recommended, premium — not fake certainty. And if you’re using AI tools, the calculator shows your real profit margin after tool costs.

Pick your profession

Pricing calculators built for how you actually work.

Every profession prices differently. A developer bills hourly. A designer quotes per deliverable. A photographer prices by the shoot. Each calculator is built for the way that profession actually charges — not a one-size-fits-all template.

Built for 2026

The first pricing tool that accounts for AI.

Every other pricing calculator on the internet assumes you do 100% of the work manually. In 2026, that's dishonest.

Our AI toggle lets you select the tools you use — ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Copilot, whatever your stack is — and shows you what it actually means for your bottom line.

Profit margin

See your real margin per hour after AI tool costs are deducted. Not revenue — profit.

Time saved

If AI handles 40% of your work, every billed hour only costs you 36 minutes of actual effort. That changes what “hourly rate” really means.

Effective earning

Your posted rate is $105/hr. But with AI efficiency, your effective earning per worked hour is $158. That’s the number that matters.

Why the numbers are real

Transparent math, not black-box guesswork.

We don't make up numbers. Every rate recommendation traces back to a formula you can inspect, question, and verify.

Federal wage data

Rate benchmarks come from 150,000+ data points covering 830 occupations across 391 metro areas. Updated annually. Not scraped from forums. Not self-reported surveys. Government-collected, employer-verified wage data.

Visible formula

Every calculation shows its work. You can see each multiplier — self-employment tax, overhead, unbillable hours, skill adjustment, regional cost of living — and exactly how they combine to produce your number.

Ranges, not false precision

We give you a floor, a recommended rate, and a premium rate. Because anyone who tells you there’s one exact number you should charge is lying. The range is honest. The methodology behind it is rigorous.
