Free Tool: The Freelance Rate Calculator (Notion Template)
Stop guessing your prices. Use this logic-based calculator to ensure you never undercharge again.
“How much should I charge for this?”
It is the single most common question I see freelancers ask. And usually, the answer they come up with is based on guesswork, fear, or looking at what the cheapest person on Fiverr is charging.
If you guess your prices, you will almost certainly undercharge. You will forget to account for revisions, complexity, and taxes. You will end up working for less than minimum wage without realising it.
I built this Offer Calculator inside Notion to fix that problem.
It removes the emotion from the negotiation. You input the variables, and the system spits out the fee.
The Logic Behind the Calculator
This tool isn’t just a random number generator. It is built on three core pricing rules:
The Base Rate: Your non-negotiable hourly baseline.
The Complexity Multiplier: A factor that adjusts the price based on how difficult the client is (e.g., 1.5x for “Rush Jobs”).
The Revision Buffer: A 20% safety margin added to every quote to cover the inevitable “Can you just change this?” emails.
What is included?
The Calculator Database: Type in your hours and difficulty; get your quote instantly.
The “3 Rules of Pricing” Guide: A quick reference to the methodology.
