Freelance Pricing Guide
Stop guessing your rates. A practical method for pricing your work and defending it.
What is inside
- 5 pricing models explained with worked examples: hourly, day rate, fixed project, value-based and retainer, and when each one actually makes sense.
- Reference rate tables for design, development, writing, marketing and video, split by experience level.
- A calculator worksheet to work backwards from your target yearly income to your real hourly floor.
- Negotiation scripts for the 7 situations that cost freelancers the most money, including “can you do it cheaper?” and “we have a smaller budget this time”.
- How to raise prices with existing clients without losing them, with the exact email wording.
- A one-page rate card template you can send to prospects.
Who it is for
- Freelancers who suspect they are charging too little but do not know by how much.
- People moving from employment to freelancing who have never set a rate.
- Anyone who freezes when a client asks “what is your price?”
What is not included
- This is not a guide to finding clients — see Client Acquisition Machine for that.
- Rate tables are international benchmarks, not guarantees for any specific market.
