Price your next freelance project
Build a project quote from estimated hours, direct costs, contingency and profit margin.
(hours x hourly rate + direct costs) x (1 + contingency) x (1 + margin)
When to use this calculator
Use this calculator after defining project scope and estimating delivery time. It helps turn your hourly baseline into a fixed-fee quote that includes direct costs, uncertainty and margin.
How to interpret the result
The recommended quote is a commercial starting point. Round and present it in a way that fits the project, payment schedule and value delivered rather than exposing every internal calculation.
Example: pricing beyond hours alone
Sixty hours at $80 plus $1,200 in direct costs becomes a higher final quote after contingency and margin are added to protect delivery and business sustainability.
Limitations
A calculator cannot detect unclear scope, difficult stakeholders, rush delivery, licensing needs or unusually valuable outcomes. Address those factors in the proposal and contract.
