Pricing Your Services
Many freelancers underprice their services by forgetting about non-billable time, taxes, and business expenses.
💡 Pro Tip
Most freelancers can only bill 50-70% of their time. The rest goes to admin, marketing, proposals, and learning.
The Formula
Gross Needed = (Income + Expenses) ÷ (1 - Tax%)
Billable Hours = Working Weeks × Hours × Billable%
Hourly Rate = Gross Needed ÷ Billable Hours
