But today I wanted to direct your attention to this cool hourly freelance rate calculator. I especially like the “here’s your break-even rate” feature. I think this information can also help you strengthen your negotiation skills. If you know a client’s only willing to pay 2% above your break-even rate, it will be easier to stand your ground and walk away if necessary (that is, if you’re looking to do more than merely cover your business and living expenses and would like to make an actual business profit). My one gripe about this calculator is that it doesn’t have a field for utilities other than telecom, but you can add that in with the rent or “other expenses” fields. [...] […] I offered up some negotiation tips here. But today I wanted to direct your attention to this cool hourly freelance rate calculator.

It’s also up to the freelancer or business owner to negotiate prices and rates wisely (competitive yet commensurate with her experience) so that she doesn’t shortchange herself. And this negotiation should an ongoing process — otherwise, how else are you supposed to get a raise?
