Why freelancers underprice themselves
Many freelancers choose a rate based on emotion, insecurity, or market pressure instead of math. That usually leads to undercharging, burnout, and unstable income. This calculator helps you set a rate based on what you actually need to survive and grow.
How to use your result
Use the result as your minimum sustainable hourly rate. From there, increase your price based on your skill level, niche expertise, project complexity, client type, and the value you create.
