Free tool · same sum as the paper sheet
The Rate Check, as a calculator.
A floor price is the least you can accept: the number below which the job costs you money to do. Fill the boxes for the job in front of you. The floor updates as you type. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
Step 1 · The hours you can see
The hours you would put on a timesheet. Guess high, not low.
Step 2 · The hours you never count
These four are the ones people leave out. Fill in all four. If B looks tiny, read the lines again.
Steps 4–6 · Keep rate and multipliers
D is take-home for an hour of your work, not the price. E and F turn take-home into a number you can bill.
The set-aside share is your choice, so check your own position with the ATO or an accountant. This tool does not do that for you.
Optional · Their offer
If the brand named a figure, put it here and the verdict appears on the floor panel.
What this tool does not do
It gives you a floor, not a rate. It cannot price usage rights, run-time, exclusivity or bundles. Those move the price a long way and need their own sheets. That is The Creator Rate Card System. This tool is free and works on its own.
The method is the same sum as The 10-Minute Rate Check: the free paper pack, if you would rather work it offline with a pen.
