Do you ever find yourself pricing a project based on what you think the client can afford — and not on what you actually need to thrive?
You’re not alone.
Many freelancers and creative entrepreneurs guess their way through pricing, but that guesswork often leads to burnout, undercharging, and financial stress. That’s why we built a Google Sheets Income Clarity Calculator — a simple, powerful tool that helps you reverse-engineer your ideal hourly/project rate based on your actual financial needs.
💡 How It Works:
You input your ideal monthly income: basic, comfortable, or aspirational.
You account for how many hours you can realistically work per month (factoring in admin, marketing, and sick days).
You consider your business overheads.
You plug in how long a project will take.
And boom — it gives you your ideal project rate, with optional boring-task surcharges and a built-in currency converter.
🛠️ Why This Calculator Matters This isn’t about charging the most. It’s about charging what’s sustainable. Whether you’re surviving, striving, or thriving, this tool helps you price your time and energy with clarity and confidence.
