What's inside
- Rate: income goal, business costs, tax set-aside share, working weeks and billable hours → revenue needed, your hourly rate and day rate
- Quote: up to 20 tasks with low / likely / high hours (and a different rate per task if needed), up to 8 expenses with markup, contingency, discount and deposit → quote total, deposit and balance, and your real hourly rate at the high estimate
- Quotes: a log of up to 200 quotes with win rate by count and by value, value won, open pipeline and average won quote
- Sample file: a web designer at $93.91/h quoting an 8-page website: $6,274.85 on the likely estimate, $71.76/h if it takes the high estimate
Checked, not just designed: every formula recalculates with zero errors, every result was checked against an independent calculation in 6 scenarios, and the hourly rate matches our free online rate calculator.
Works in Excel and Google Sheets. The tax share is your own set-aside, not a tax calculation.
