Am I Charging Enough?

A working session with your own numbers to find your real break-even and a defensible price.

10 minutesBeginner

The problem

Most pricing gets set once, early, by guessing, and never gets revisited even as costs and time change. You end up with a number that felt right in month one and hasn't been checked since.

Who it's for

Service-based business owners who have clients and revenue, but have never actually calculated whether their price covers their real costs, time, and margin.

What you'll complete

A short worksheet walking through your fixed costs, your time per client, and your margin target, ending in an actual number.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know accounting to do this?

No. If you can estimate your monthly costs and roughly how many hours you spend per client, that's enough to start.

What if I sell products, not services?

The break-even math still applies. The worksheet includes a variant for per-unit costs instead of per-hour time.

Will this tell me exactly what to charge?

It gives you a defensible floor and a target, not a single magic number. The final call on positioning is still yours.
