Business tools aren't built for designers. This toolkit is. 'Know Your Floor' calculates your true effective hourly rate, factoring in taxes, expenses, non-billable time, and profit margin, so you stop undercharging without realizing it. 'Scope Builder' breaks projects into workstreams and tasks so you can price with confidence instead of gut feeling. 100% free. No sign-up. No data collected. Runs entirely in your browser.

Hey! I've been running a design studio for 4+ years, mostly serving nonprofits. Early on, I made the mistake of calculating my hourly rate by dividing project cost by hours worked. Looked great on paper. In practice, I was losing money on almost every project.
So I built 'Know Your Floor' to figure out what I actually need to charge. Then I built 'Scope Builder' because pricing confidently starts with scoping accurately.
These are the tools I wish had existed when I started. They're completely free. No sign-up, no tracking. I shared it with a coaching client recently, and his reaction was that he'd been leaving thousands of dollars on the table on recent projects. That's exactly why I built it.
I'd love to hear what tools you wish you had as a freelancer. That's how I'm deciding what to build next.
