Check your rate floor

Use your own overhead and take-home goal to see a starting hourly floor for this event. This is not a market rate and not a promise of profit.

Taxes, insurance, and slow months are not fully modeled. Treat every field as an estimate you can revise.

Monthly overhead / fixed costs ($)

Rent, software, insurance, gear payments, and other fixed costs you pay even when the calendar is quiet.Target monthly take-home ($)

What you want left for yourself in a typical month, before you add a cushion for taxes if you set those aside separately.Billable hours per month

Hours you expect to bill clients this month, not every hour you work. If this is 0, we cannot calculate a floor.

Break-even hourly-Add billable hours above 0 to see a break-even hourly rate.

Floor for this event-A starting dollar floor for the hours on this event, from your numbers above.

Vs recommended client quote-Compares the recommended client quote from the event calculator to your floor for this event. A gap above the floor is not automatic profit after taxes or surprises.

This floor uses your inputs only. It is a starting check, not financial advice.
