Freelance Project Pricing Calculator
Turn your estimated hours and deliverables into a fixed project price and a copy-paste client quote — with revisions, expenses, platform fees, and a deposit. Free, no signup, and everything stays on your device.
1. Your rate
Don't know your rate? Calculate your Minimum Viable Rate first, then come back to import it.
2. Deliverables
Revisions are shown in the client quote for clarity. They only change the price if you add their hours above.
3. Project settings
Sensible defaults applied — adjust only if needed.
Contingency buffers scope creep · platform fee defaults to None · deposit is collected upfront.

Client-facing quote
PROJECT QUOTE — Web Development Scope of work: • Design & build (2 revisions included) Total project price: $0.00 USD Deposit to begin (50%): $0.00 USD Balance on completion: $0.00 USD Not included: anything outside the scope above, and revisions beyond those listed (quoted separately).
Internal figures (your rate, margins, effective rate) are kept out of the client text.
How the freelance project price is calculated
QuoteBridge converts an estimated scope into a defensible fixed price with a simple, transparent formula:
Labor = planned hours × hourly rate
Subtotal = labor + direct expenses
Total = subtotal ÷ (1 − platform fee%)
Deposit = total × deposit% · Balance = total − deposit
Worked example
A web developer charges $65/hr, estimates 20 hours of work, adds a 10% contingency, $50 of stock assets, no platform fee, and a 50% deposit:
- Planned hours: 20 × 1.10 = 22 hrs
- Labor: 22 × $65 = $1,430
- + Expenses: $50 → Subtotal $1,480
- No platform fee → Total $1,480
- Deposit (50%): $740 · Balance: $740
Frequently asked questions
Do revisions change the price?
No — revisions are listed in the client quote for clarity. They only affect the price if you add their hours as a deliverable, so you stay in control of what's included.
Why does importing my Minimum Viable Rate set the platform fee to None?
Your MVR already includes platform fees and taxes. Applying a platform fee again would charge it twice, so QuoteBridge sets its own fee to None after an import and tells you it did.
Is a deposit required?
It's optional, but recommended. A deposit protects your time and signals commitment. Set it to 0% to quote a single final price.
Is my project data private?
Yes. Everything is calculated on your device and saved only in your browser. No client names or project details are ever placed in the page URL or sent to a server.
