Name Your Rate

Your rate is just math. Start with the life you want, then work backward to the number that pays for it. Define it, decide it, declare it.

1 Your Hourly Rate

We start with what you want to take home. Not what you think they'll pay.

Annual take-home income goal What you actually pay yourself, before taxes. Be honest, not modest.

Is that number the real number?

Before you settle for it, check what it covers. Savings? Retirement? Healthcare? The vacations you're about to claim below? Your family, not just you? The car that's on its last year?

If it only covers survival, it's not the number. Raise it. This is the life number.

Business overhead Software, contractors, insurance, marketing. Most solo businesses run 20 to 30%. Not sure? Leave it at 25.

Vacation weeks per year Rest goes in the plan. What if rest is the revolution?

Hours worked per week All of it, not just the hours clients see

Percent of your time that's billable Paid, client-facing work. The emails and the bookkeeping don't bill anyone. Most solopreneurs land between 50 and 60%.

Years in your craft Count all of it: the jobs, the side hustle, the unpaid years that trained you. Experience is earned, so we charge for it.
