The Maple Street rate sheet: a day rate worked out from target income and billable days, a project broken into priced parts, and the sentence to say the total

What's inside

Four pages, one afternoon

1. Your day rate

Start from what you want to earn and the days you can actually bill, not from what other people charge.

2. The parts of the project

A table for breaking any brief into the pieces a client can see: research, the work, revisions, handoff.

3. The buffer

How much to add for revisions and back-and-forth, so the extra round doesn't come out of your margin.

4. The sentence

A short script for saying the total out loud, and what to say when the client asks for a discount.
