Example session with this skill installed
I want to take home $80k after taxes. My tax rate is 25%, expenses are $10k, and I take 6 weeks off. I have a project that will take 20-30 hours and will save the client $20,000 this year.

About this skill
Stop guessing what to charge and start pricing based on math. This skill helps freelancers calculate a sustainable floor rate by factoring in taxes, business overhead, and non-billable time. It moves beyond "gut feelings" by generating three distinct pricing models for any specific project, ensuring every quote covers costs and accounts for risk.
What it does
- Floor Rate Calculation determines the absolute minimum hourly and daily rate needed to hit take-home pay goals after taxes and expenses.
- Three-Model Pricing generates hourly, fixed, and value-based quotes for a single project to compare options.
- Risk Buffering applies a 15% buffer to fixed-price quotes to protect against scope creep and worst-case hour estimates.
- Margin Protection runs sanity checks to ensure a fixed price doesn't accidentally dip below the floor rate during the best-case scenario.
- Rush & Revision Adjustment calculates surcharges for tight deadlines and defines costs for additional revision cycles.
How it works
- Financial Baseline collects income targets, tax rates, and annual overhead to establish your floor rate.
- Project Assessment gathers deliverables, hour estimates, and client value metrics.
- Comparative Output presents a table comparing hourly, fixed, and value-based models with specific formulas.
- Strategic Guidance recommends the best model and provides a two-line script for the client pitch.
Frameworks & tools
This is a logic-based skill that works with any currency or tax jurisdiction. It requires no external integrations, using mathematical formulas to process user-provided financial data.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Standard LLM prompts often give vague market averages or ignore the "hidden" costs of being a freelancer. This skill enforces a strict "numbers first" logic that accounts for unpaid admin time and tax liabilities, preventing you from ever quoting a loss-making rate.
Use cases
- Setting a baseline hourly rate for the new financial year.
- Responding to a RFP where the scope is well-defined but risky.
- Calculating value-based pricing for high-impact consulting projects.
- Auditing an existing quote to see if it actually covers your overhead.
Known limitations
Does not provide local tax advice or market research for specific industries. Users must provide their own estimates for hours and client value.
