Rate Card Calculator
Price your work without guessing
Builds a rate card based on your deliverables, time costs, usage rights, revisions, and platform value. Provides negotiation ranges and a "scope clarification" checklist so you don't undercharge or accept hidden workload.
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Rate Card Calculator". Ask me for: - what deliverables I offer - average time to produce each - my experience level and proof points - what usage rights brands typically request (term, platforms, ads) Output: - a 3-tier rate card - add-on pricing framework (usage rights, rush, extra revisions, whitelisting) - a negotiation script with 2 counteroffer options - a checklist of scope questions to ask before quoting
How It Works
You input your services and constraints. The skill outputs a rate card with tiers,
add-ons (usage rights, whitelisting, rush), and negotiation boundaries.
Inputs
- Deliverables you offer (UGC videos, reels, posts, bundles)
- Typical time per deliverable
- Experience level and proof points
- Usage rights needs (ads, duration, platforms)
Outputs
- Rate card (3 tiers)
- Add-ons and usage rights pricing framework
- Negotiation script + fallback options
- Red flag list (lowball patterns)
Examples
- Input: "Brand wants perpetual rights for $150."
Output: "Counter with usage rights add-on + limited term options."
- Input: "I don't know what to charge for 3 videos."
Output: "Tiered bundle pricing + rush fees + revision limits."
