Description

Tired of wondering what to charge for your freelance services?
This calculator was built to help you answer that, confidently, and with receipts to back it up.

Instead of guessing, this Google Sheets tool walks you through a realistic breakdown of how to price your services based on your actual income goals and workload. It’s perfect for freelancers who want to build sustainable businesses, not just survive on random project rates.

🔸 Sheet 1: Your Ideal Hourly Rate
You’ll plug in:

• Your monthly income goal

• How many days you want to work each week

• How many hours you can work per day

• Monthly business expenses (tools, software, miscellaneous)

• Your tax percentage

The sheet then calculates:

• Your monthly working hours

• A realistic hourly rate after expenses and taxes

• A solid foundation for sustainable pricing

🔸 Sheet 2: Price Your Services
Once you’ve calculated your hourly rate, the second tab helps you price each of your services (like video editing, email management, content writing, etc.) by simply entering how many hours it takes you per service. The price updates automatically, no formulas needed.

💡 Bonus features:

• Color-coded cells (Green = editable, Gray = leave alone)

• Built-in formulas, so no math skills required

• Fully editable in Google Sheets or Excel

• Created by a freelancer, for freelancers

🔸 Who it’s for:

• New freelancers unsure of how to price

• Freelancers shifting to full-time

• Anyone tired of undercharging or just “going with vibes”

Whether you’re building retainers, one-off packages, or selling day rates — this calculator gives you a realistic and sustainable way to charge what your time is worth.
