How this calculator works
Your suggested price starts from a base hourly rate for your skill and experience level, then adjusts for the factors that actually change how long a project takes and how risky it is to deliver.
- Skill & experience sets your base hourly rate - more specialized skills and senior experience command higher baselines.
- Complexity adjusts the rate up for projects with more moving parts, integrations, or unknowns.
- Urgency adds a premium for rush or urgent timelines, since they often mean dropping other work.
- Delivery format accounts for the extra time needed to hand over source files and documentation, not just the final result.
- Revision rounds beyond the included rounds add a small surcharge to cover the extra back-and-forth.
- Client risk doesn't change the price itself - it changes how much deposit to ask for upfront before you start working.
The result is a starting point for a negotiation, not a fixed quote - use the range to give yourself room to adjust based on the conversation with your client.
Getting paid in crypto
Pricing in USD and getting paid in stablecoins (USDT/USDC) keeps your income predictable while still avoiding traditional banking friction. If you're open to other cryptocurrencies, agree on the conversion rate and timing with your client before work begins to avoid disputes over price swings.

Frequently asked questions
Is this calculator free to use?
Yes. The rate calculator is completely free, works without an account, and you can run it as many times as you like. Creating a free account only adds the ability to save your pricing profile across devices.
How is the price actually calculated?
We start from a market-rate hourly figure for your skill and experience level, then adjust it for project complexity, urgency, delivery format, and revision rounds. The result is multiplied by your estimated hours to produce a recommended price, with a minimum and premium range around it. Every multiplier is shown in the breakdown so you can see exactly why a number was suggested.
Why isn't there a country or location field?
By design. We treat every freelancer and client the same regardless of where they're based - your rate should reflect your skill and the work, not your location. This calculator never suggests charging less just because of where you happen to live.
What does the suggested deposit mean?
It's an upfront payment you can ask a client for before starting work, sized to the client risk level you selected. A higher deposit protects you when working with a new or unverified client; a lower deposit is reasonable for an established, trusted client.
How do I actually get paid in crypto for this?
Once you and your client agree on a price, you can create a Direct Crypto Contract to generate a payment link and verify on-chain payments yourself - no middleman holds the funds. See the Crypto Contracts page for details.
My skill isn't listed. What should I do?
Choose "Other" as the skill category. It uses a general baseline rate - if your specialization typically commands more (or less), adjust the recommended price up or down accordingly before sending your proposal.
