Labor Cost = Hours × Hourly Rate
Subtotal = Labor + Overhead + Expenses
Total Price = Subtotal × (1 + Margin%)
Calculate your total hours × hourly rate + direct expenses, then add a profit/buffer margin (10–30%) and overhead allocation.
Most freelancers add 15–25% margin on top of costs to account for revisions, admin time, and profit.
Fixed pricing is preferred for well-defined projects. Hourly is better for open-ended or research-heavy work.
Include software, stock assets, subcontractors, travel, printing, hosting, or any direct cost tied to the project.
