FAQ draft

Why is my target hourly rate higher than expected?

Freelancers typically underestimate taxes, admin time, revisions, and non-billable work. A sustainable rate has to cover all of that.

Should I charge hourly or fixed project fees?

Use the hourly result as your floor, then quote fixed project fees when scope is clear enough to price confidently.

Can this replace tax or accounting advice?

No. It is a planning tool, not professional advice.
