These four have to add up to exactly 100%. The defaults are set to a standard split, so you only need to change them if you want to assign different percentages.
NOTE: If you don’t like the numbers you got in your result, enter some new ones & try again! Don’t worry, it doesn’t save or tell me what’s been entered so this is all for fun!
How this basic calculator works:
Pick a dollar amount for your hourly rate + expected time worked
doubling that result can help save for paying yourself, taxes, expenses & profit
Or pick a project rate you want to charge
see how that rate would break into different chunks
Spit it up into buckets:
divide that rate by the following (for Profit First buckets):
0.5 = 50% of the package fee for your paychecks
0.25 = 25% of the package fee for Taxes
0.2 = 20% for the package fee for Expenses
0.05 = 5% for the package fee for Profit
Change any of the percentages if you want to, but make sure all 4 percentages still total 100%
