Freelance pricing

How Much Should I Charge as a Freelancer?

A direct way to set a freelance price without undercharging or guessing.

The cleanest answer starts with your floor, not with what someone else charges.

Add the income you need, business expenses, taxes, and realistic billable time. That gives you a rate that reflects your actual economics instead of a random market rumor.

If the project is simple, the floor may be close to the quote. If the project is risky or long-running, the quote should move higher.

A lot of freelancers undercharge because they only think about delivery hours. Pricing gets more accurate once you include sales, admin, revisions, and downtime.

If you do not know the floor yet, the calculator is the fastest way to get there.
