Architectural Analysis & Logic
The biggest mistake freelancers make is pricing based on their "last job" or a "market average". This leads to burnout and financial instability.
The Non-Billable Gap
You cannot bill 40 hours a week. Between admin, marketing, and professional development, most sustainable freelancers only bill 20-25 hours per week. Your rate must cover this gap.
The Overhead Trap
Software subscriptions, health insurance, and hardware are not "costs"—they are essential infrastructure. Your hourly rate is the engine that fuels this infrastructure.
