A simple Excel calculator for freelancers who want to know whether a project is actually worth taking. Enter the quoted price, estimated hours, direct costs, platform fees and tax reserve. It calculates your net profit, effective hourly rate and profit margin, then gives the project a simple Strong, Review or Low rating. No subscription, no account and no complicated setup — just a practical spreadsheet for making better pricing decisions.
I built this after seeing the same problem come up again and again in freelance pricing discussions: a project can sound well-paid until you calculate the real hours, fees, costs and taxes.
I wanted something much simpler than another app or subscription — just a spreadsheet I could open, enter a few numbers and quickly see the effective hourly rate and actual profit.
This is the first version, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from freelancers: what would you add, change or remove?
