Most web designers lose money before the project even starts. They pick a number that feels reasonable, hope the client says yes, and wonder why they are burned out and still broke at the end of the month.

This calculator fixes that.

You put in three things: what you want to take home each month, how many hours you actually have to bill, and what type of project you build. It gives you your floor hourly rate, your project minimum, your recommended price with negotiation buffer built in, and exactly how many projects you need per month to hit your goal.

No guessing. No "just charge what feels right." A number grounded in your actual life.

Built as a Google Sheets & Excel template. Open it, change three cells, have your rates in 60 seconds.

Perfect for:

• Freelance Web Designers

• UI/UX Designers

• Creative Agency Owners

• Notion Template Builders

• Freelance Developers scaling client work
