Ah, yes. Excellent point Ilise. I should be clearer that this formula is about knowing for yourself an hourly rate. It might even be clearer to say this is simply a calculation of what your expenses are so that you can charge enough to cover those expenses. From there, how you charge and how you communicate that to prospective clients are different issues that folks like yourself are providing some excellent coaching on.

It’s really no one’s business, especially if you practice one of the many pricing strategies available to freelancers, including fixed fees, package or tiered pricing, retainer or value-based pricing and more. (I cover all of this in my CreativeLive course, Command the Fees You Deserve.)
