FAQ
Quick answers to common pricing calculator questions.
What is billable utilization?
It is the portion of your working time that you can actually invoice. The rest covers admin, marketing, and project setup.
Should I price hourly or by package?
Hourly gives a clear baseline. Packages help buyers see outcomes and often make approvals easier.
How accurate are these calculators?
They provide planning estimates. Update the inputs as you gather real data on time, costs, and results.
Do I need to include taxes and platform fees?
Yes. Fees and taxes materially impact take-home income, so bake them into your rate or package pricing.
