A simple Notion template that reverse-engineers exactly what you should charge—accounting for taxes, expenses, time off, and the fact that you can't bill 40 hours/week.
You started freelancing to make more money. But somehow you're working more hours than your old job, clients keep negotiating you down, and you have no idea if $50/hour is good or if you're being exploited.
Here's the truth: Most freelancers undercharge by 30-50% because they're doing mental math with missing variables.
Desired income, actual billable hours, expenses, taxes, vacation time. The stuff most freelancers forget.
The template calculates your floor. Never go below this number again.
