What's inside

A formula for your rate.
Templates that close deals.

Undercharging is a math problem. Once you see the actual number you need to charge to hit your income goal, guessing stops.

Rate Formula Calculator
Input your income goal, billable hours, tax rate, and overhead. Get your minimum hourly rate — the floor below which you lose money. No more guessing.
Proposal Templates (×5)
Fixed-price, hourly, retainer, project-based, and value-based proposals. Each structured to close — problem statement, your approach, deliverables, timeline, price.
Proposal Tracker
Log every proposal sent — client, amount, date sent, follow-up date, outcome. Know your close rate. Know which proposal type converts best for you.
Rate Tiers System
Set three pricing tiers per service type: base, mid, and premium. Show clients options without race-to-the-bottom negotiation. Anchor high. Close middle.
Annual Rate Review
A structured framework to review your rates every 12 months. Compare inflation, demand growth, and skill improvements. Raise rates confidently with data.
Negotiation Cheat Sheet
The 7 negotiation moves every freelancer needs — when to hold firm, when to trade scope for budget, when to walk away. Words and phrases that work.
Full package

Calculate, propose, close. Repeat.

Every freelancer who uses this raises their rates within 60 days. The math makes it obvious.

Freelancers who stopped undercharging

★★★★★

"I put in my income goal and the calculator told me I needed to charge $85/hour minimum. I was charging $40. I raised my rates on the next proposal and it got accepted immediately."

Zanele P. — UX Designer, Durban
★★★★★

"The value-based proposal template got me a $5,500 project from a client who'd been shopping around for the cheapest option. Framing changed everything."

Oluwaseun A. — Copywriter, Abuja
★★★★★

"The negotiation cheat sheet is gold. I used the tier-anchoring strategy and a client who was pushing back ended up choosing my mid package — $300 more than they offered."

Thandeka N. — Content Strategist, Cape Town

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does this work for any freelance field?+
Yes. The rate formula works for any skill-based freelancer — designers, developers, writers, consultants, video editors, photographers. The math is universal, the proposal templates are adaptable.
Is this better than just Googling "freelance rates"?+
Yes, because it calculates YOUR rate based on YOUR income goal — not an industry average that ignores your taxes, overhead, and actual billable capacity. The Googled number is someone else's guess. This is your number.
How is this different from the Freelancer Command Center?+
The Command Center manages your ongoing business — clients, projects, invoices. The Rate Kit is for winning the business in the first place — pricing and proposals. They're designed to work together.
What if I already have a Notion rate calculator?+
If it gives you a specific minimum hourly rate from your income goal and also includes 5 proposal templates, a tracker, and a negotiation cheat sheet — you might not need this. If not, you do.
Is there a refund policy?+
30 days, no questions. Gumroad handles it automatically.
