Freelance Pricing and Day Rate Worksheet
About this document
Many freelancers underprice because they compare their day rate with an employee’s salary and forget about holidays, sickness, admin time, business costs, tax and pension. This worksheet helps you calculate a rate that covers everything, think about value-based pricing, and raise your prices professionally.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
