Free Sample: The Rate Calculator Prompt

I'm a freelance [YOUR SPECIALTY] with [X] years of experience.

Help me calculate my ideal hourly/project rate:

1. Based on my specialty and experience level, what's the market range? (Give me 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile)
2. Calculate my minimum viable rate: [monthly expenses] / [available billable hours] = floor rate
3. Calculate my target rate: floor rate * 1.5 (for taxes, benefits, non-billable time)
4. Help me position my rate:
   - What value can I emphasize to justify the 75th percentile?
   - What should my "anchor price" be in proposals?
   - How do I handle "that's too expensive" objections?

My monthly expenses: $[X]
Available hours per month: [X]
Current rate: $[X]/hr

Why it works: Most freelancers price emotionally. This prompt forces a data-driven calculation, then layers on positioning strategy. The anchor price technique alone can increase project values by 20-30%.
