Whatever you make or do, we have a calculator for it

Eight categories covering the most common pricing problems freelancers and small businesses face.

Why our calculators are different

Built on the true-cost-of-doing-business model

Most pricing advice on the internet tells you to "charge what you're worth" — which is useless if you don't know what your time actually costs. Our calculators start from your real numbers: materials, hours, overhead, taxes, profit margin. Then they tell you the price you should quote.

Every tool is paired with a long-form guide explaining the methodology, the industry benchmarks, and the common mistakes to avoid — so you understand the why, not just the what.

1. Plug in your real numbers

Materials, hours, overhead, desired profit — every cost that touches your work.

2. We compute your true cost

A transparent formula breaks down labour, materials, fees, taxes, and margin line by line.

3. Get a defensible quote

A price you can explain to clients — and a breakdown you can negotiate from if needed.

4. Read the supporting guide

Each calculator links to a long-form article explaining the industry benchmarks and common pitfalls.

Questions about pricing your work

Are these calculators really free?
Yes. Every calculator and every guide on meyy.info is free to use, with no signup, no paywall, and no email gate. We monetise through display advertising (clearly labelled) so the tools stay free for everyone.
Do the calculators store my data?
No. All calculations run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The numbers you enter never leave your device — there is no server-side storage of your inputs.
How were the formulas built?
Each calculator is built on a true-cost-of-doing-business model. We document the methodology publicly on our Methodology page, with citations to industry sources like the SBA, SCORE, Freelancers Union, and trade associations.
Can I trust the prices these tools recommend?
The calculators give you a defensible price based on your real costs and target margin. They are educational tools, not financial advice. For high-stakes decisions (large contracts, hiring, tax), consult a qualified accountant or business advisor.
I got a result that seems high. Is the calculator wrong?
Probably not. Most freelancers and makers underprice significantly — research from Freelancers Union and others consistently shows this. A "shockingly high" result usually means your previous prices were below your true cost. Read the supporting guide for context.
Can I suggest a new calculator?
Yes — please do. Email contact@meyy.info with the industry, the pricing problem you are trying to solve, and any formulas you have seen work in practice. We prioritise calculator requests from working practitioners.
