How it works
Enter your hourly rate and the scope of the site you are quoting. You get a price range, a monthly plan, the annual client value and three packages, with every line of the math shown.
Enter your hourly rate, then replace the example hours under assumptions with your own.
Choose the pages, features, client size and whether it is a rush job.
Turn on hosting and maintenance and set the fee and hours it covers.
Copy the breakdown, or turn the estimate into a pre-filled proposal.
Good to know
Most freelancers price their first sites by copying someone else. This calculator starts from your hours and your rate instead, so you get a number you can explain and hold when a client pushes back.
Scope is what the site has to do: pages, bookings or products, who writes the words, whether it needs a logo. Each shows up as its own line, so the client sees what they pay for.
Bigger clients usually mean more reviewers and more rounds of changes, so client size adds a percentage. Rush work gets its own surcharge, because it displaces other work.
A range helps early, while the scope is still moving. Once the scope is agreed, send one number or one set of packages, because a written range invites the client to pick the bottom of it. A narrow range says you are confident; a wide one says there is still a lot you do not know.
A build pays once. A hosting and maintenance plan pays every month and keeps you close to the next project. That is why the calculator shows annual client value: the project plus twelve months of the plan.
Price the plan from real hosting and tool costs plus the hours it includes, and spell out what those hours cover.
Three options turn "should I hire this person?" into "which one suits me?":
After each project, compare estimated and real hours and update your assumptions. Then find people to quote: SiteSeeker finds local businesses with no website.
