Freelancer Project Rate Calculator formula

Suggested Project Price = (Estimated Hours × Target Hourly Value + Direct Expenses) × (1 + Contingency)

Example

A 40-hour project at $100/hour with $300 expenses and 15% contingency produces a suggested price of $4,945.

How to use the result

Use contingency for uncertainty, not as a substitute for a clear scope. Compare the final price with client value and market positioning.
