Project price calculator for client quotes
Use this exact-match calculator when a client asks "how much will this project cost?" Start with your delivery estimate, then add revision time and a scope buffer so the final price protects your margin.
Built for fixed-price freelance work
Fixed-price work can be profitable only when the quote includes non-obvious time. This calculator makes room for project management, QA, revisions, and the uncertainty that usually appears after kickoff.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a project price calculator?▾
A project price calculator turns estimated work, hourly rate, revisions, and scope buffer into a client-facing fixed price. It helps you quote based on real effort instead of guessing.
Is project price different from project cost?▾
Yes. Project cost is what it takes you to deliver the work. Project price is what the client pays after adding margin, risk buffer, revisions, and value.
How much buffer should I add to a fixed-price project?▾
Most freelancers add a 15-25% scope buffer. Use a higher buffer if requirements are unclear, stakeholders are slow, or the project has technical risk.
Can I use this for agency pricing?▾
Yes. It works for freelancers and agencies when you know the estimated hours, blended rate, revision time, and scope buffer.
