The Hourly to Project Rate Converter helps freelancers and consultants convert hourly rates into project-based fixed pricing that properly accounts for time buffer (project overrun risk), overhead (your business costs), and profit margin. Hourly billing has limited upside; project-based pricing rewards efficiency. The calculator outputs the recommended project rate and effective hourly rate, helping you transition from time-billing to value-billing.

자주 묻는 질문
Should I always do project pricing?
Project pricing works best when scope is clear and you can deliver efficiently. Hourly works better for ongoing/unclear scope. Many freelancers offer both with project pricing for defined work, hourly for retainer.
