Consulting Fees Calculator

This calculator provides a great starting point to help you figure out how much much to charge in order to make the amount of money you want each day/month/year.

If you’ve read our Consulting Success System course or Consulting Fees Guide, you will know, and please keep in mind, that we advise consultants against charging based on number of hours worked.

Note: The needs and goals of each consultant will be different and this calculator is not meant to be a perfect one-size fits all.
