Designers at every stage face the same questions:
This isn't a talent problem.
It's a pricing foundation problem.
And it's fixable.
- Am I charging enough for the level of service I provide?
- Why does my revenue feel inconsistent even when I’m working constantly?
- How are other designers building teams, studios, and stronger margins?
- Is raising my rate the right move — or a risk?
This isn't a talent problem.
It's a pricing foundation problem.
And it's fixable.
Sound familiar?
Pricing too low doesn’t just affect one project. It compounds over time.
It can lead to:
Many designers don’t realize how far off their hourly rate actually is.
This calculator shows you.
It can lead to:
- Working more hours without meaningful financial progress
- Taking on projects that don’t align with your long-term vision

The Real Cost of UndercharginG
Busy Is Not the Same As Profitable
You don't have time for a long course. You want a fast, effective fix.
You're tired of second-guessing your rates and want a proven formula.
You feel uncertain about raising your rates and need a strategy to do it with confidence.
You're ready to stop trading hours for dollars and run a truly profitable business.
You want to attract higher-quality clients who respect your expertise.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
The Hourly Rate Calculator is for designers ready to build a pricing foundation that actually works.
Early in my career, I was booking projects and still feeling stretched financially. Not because I lacked clients or design ability. Because I lacked a structured way to determine what my time was truly worth.
Over time, I developed a profit-driven hourly rate formula while scaling a multi-seven-figure interior design firm.
This calculator is based on that same framework — simplified so you can apply it quickly and strategically in your own business.
