advanced~30 minFreelancersConsultantsAgencies

Steps

  1. 1Compute cost floor: expenses + taxes + non-billable time ÷ billable hours
  2. 2Research market band for your niche's outcomes, not hours
  3. 3Anchor to value created: revenue gained or cost removed estimates
  4. 4Raise rates each time pipeline exceeds capacity sustainably
  5. 5Never discount price; reduce scope instead when pressured
  6. 6Track effective hourly rate per project; prune loss leaders

Common Pitfalls

  • ▲Competitor-undercutting spirals to unsustainability
  • ▲Senior expertise priced off junior hour tables
