I agree with everyone; this is a great post. This was my last hurdle to going after my first client. I had no idea what to charge. Thanks!

I posted on the how to thread and just realized I should of posted here. I'm confused on the 116% profit margin.
Add business & personal expenses
+42% tax
+30% profit
/2080= xyz income needed made sense to me but I'm lost on why the profit got hiked at the end.

This is a wonderful post. I haven't started my business yet but this will definitely come in handy in the future when I'm ready. I want to be completely prepared before I jump right in.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this post! I am so glad it was made a sticky. I am at a point in my start up where I need to establish my rates and this has absolutely been a God send. Perhaps that's why you're the "Office Goddess".
