Why billable hours are lower than work hours

Most freelancers bill only 20-30 hours a week once admin, sales, learning and revisions are counted. Pricing on a 40-hour week is the most common mistake and leads to undercharging.

Frequently asked questions

Should I charge hourly or per project?

Use your hourly rate as the floor, then price projects by value. Fixed prices usually earn more as you get faster.
