How to Set Your Freelance Rate (FREE Calculator Template)
Video from Self-Employment Sidekick. Watch on YouTube.
What you'll get
A creator who teaches self-employment walks through a free spreadsheet that starts from your monthly living costs, adds a cushion for taxes and business expenses, and ends in a bare-minimum, a comfortable and a dream day and hourly rate. A business bank sponsors the video, and it warns that unpaid hours mean the rate you charge must run higher than the sheet's, so use it to test whether your rate could support your life before you leave a paycheck.
