Why this blueprint exists
Multiple pricing models in one place: Hourly, project-based, and retainer structures side by side for comparison.
Margin visibility: See your effective hourly rate and profit margin on every pricing scenario.
Package builder: Create tiered packages (Basic/Standard/Premium) with clear scope and price per tier.
Most freelancers and agencies price by gut feeling. A structured pricing calculator shows you what you're actually earning per hour—and where you're leaving money on the table.
Without a pricing model, you quote based on what feels right. But a $5,000 project that takes 80 hours is $62.50/hour—and that might be below your target.
Retainer pricing is another blind spot. Is a $3,000/month retainer profitable if you're delivering 50 hours of work? The math matters.
This blueprint gives you formulas for calculating project fees, effective hourly rates, retainer profitability, and package pricing.
