Consulting Fees Calculator

If you've read our Consulting Success System course or Consulting Fees Guide, you know that we advise consultants against charging based on number of hours worked. We're making this calculator available to give you an idea of how many projects you would need to complete to reach your income goals and to give you a baseline for your fees.

Note: The needs and goals of each consultant will be different and this calculator is not meant to be a perfect one-size fits all.
