The Rates Calculator
A simple tool to figure out what you actually need to charge as a freelancer—based on your real-life expenses, savings goals, and availability.
How it works:
Rachel will walk through the calculator with a short video lesson so you can choose which Google Sheets template is best for your business:
- one that calculates your baseline hourly rate
- another that helps you manage your money like the small business owner you are.
This isn’t a guessing game. It’s a grounded, doable system to make sure your rates cover your life – not just your rent.
What’s included:
- 📹 20-minutes of video lessons walking you through the process step-by-step
- 📊 A Google Sheets calculator to help you determine your baseline rate
- 🧾 A full financial dashboard for personal + business money tracking
- 🧠 Support for shifting your money mindset so you can charge more confidently

You'll also get:
Custom Baseline Rate
No more guessing what to charge – you’ll know exactly what your rate needs to be.
A Scalable System
Your needs and schedule will evolve – this tool grows with you. Revisit it quarterly, monthly, or just annually, up to you!
Automated Calculator
A spreadsheet that does the math for you. Just plug in your spending habits, work schedule, and the calculator handles the rest.
Money Mindset
A mindset shift that makes pricing feel less scary! Learn how to “ooch” your way to higher rates without freaking out or missing out on clients.
What if setting your rates didn’t feel so overwhelming?
Setting your rates is as simple as making sure you earn what you need + adding percentages based on the value you provide. I break it all down in my free workshop.
👋 Hi, I’m Rachel Meltzer!
(it rhymes with seltzer)
I’ve helped hundreds of freelancers figure out what to charge, land better clients, and build sustainable businesses they actually love.
Need more?
Here are some stats:
3 months
That’s how long it took me to go from $55/hour to $150/hour—using the same “ooching” strategy I teach here.
2,50+ freelancers
That’s how many creatives I’ve helped inside my programs, coaching calls, and community.
$10k/month
That’s what I was earning when I finally nailed my money mindset and started charging what I was worth.
You don’t need another vague pep talk. You need a clear plan that works with your life—and this is it.
