Pricing guide
Freelance rate calculator
You need a number before you reply to the client email. This calculator starts from industry scope and regional rates, then lets you nudge up or down until it feels honest.
Or jump straight to the pricing calculator.
What the calculator actually does
Pick a work type (web design, video, branding, and 11 others). Select your region and currency. The tool prices each deliverable from preset effort hours and a base hourly rate, then rolls up a project total.
You can switch between hourly, per-item, and whole-project billing without starting over.
When a calculator beats guessing
New freelancers tend to undercharge because they price the hours they wish the job took. A scoped quote forces you to name deliverables first, which usually surfaces the real effort.
