Stop pricing by gut feel. Build Good/Better/Best packages from a real cost-plus-margin base rate, with a scope-creep buffer already built in.
Backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it is not useful, we will refund it, no questions asked.
An hourly rate calculator tells you what to charge per hour, but most clients want to buy a fixed-price package, not an open-ended hourly quote. This builder starts from your actual cost rate and materials, then calculates a recommended fixed price that protects your margin even when scope creeps a little, because it always does.
Enter base hours, hourly cost rate, and materials cost, set a target margin and a scope-creep buffer percentage, and the Recommended Price column does the rest. Build three rows per service to create real Good/Better/Best tiers instead of a single hourly number.
We used to quote services by gut feel and undercharge whenever a project ran long. Building a scope-creep buffer into the price from the start, instead of eating it as "free extra work," was the change that actually protected our margin.

The Recommended Price is calculated from your actual hourly cost rate and materials, not a number you picked because it felt right.
The buffer percentage protects your margin against the revision requests that show up on almost every project.
Build Good/Better/Best rows per service to sell packages the way most clients actually want to buy.
Is this the same as an hourly rate calculator?
No, it starts from a cost rate but outputs a fixed package price with a margin and scope-creep buffer built in, not an hourly number.
How do I pick a scope-creep buffer percentage?
Start around 10-15% and adjust based on how often your past projects have run over scope.
Do I need a different row for every client?
No, build one Good/Better/Best set per service offering, then reuse it across clients who buy that service.
Package Builder (Lite), yours free with this purchase (a $5 value): a single-tier quick-start version to price one package before building the full Good/Better/Best set.
