Use when asked to set freelance/consulting rates, build a rate card, decide what to charge, package services, or move off hourly billing. Produces a rate card — your minimum viable rate (from real targets), tiered packages, pricing models (hourly/day/project/retainer/value), and how to present and defend it.

# Rate Card Skill Most freelancers and consultants underprice because they pick a number that "sounds okay" instead of one the math supports — and they bill hourly, which caps income and punishes efficiency. This skill builds a rate card grounded in your real targets (income, billable capacity, costs), then packages it into tiers/models that move you toward value-based pricing — with the language to present and hold it. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided: - **Target income** (annual take-home you need), and your **costs/overhead** + tax allowance. - **Realistic billable capacity** — billable days/hours per year (not 100% — admin, sales, holidays eat ~30–40%). - **Your services** — what you offer, and which are commodity vs. high-value. - **Market context** — rough rates peers charge, and your positioning (junior/senior/specialist). ## Output Format ### Rate Card: [you / practice] **1. Your floor rate (the math)** — derive the **minimum viable rate**: target income + costs + tax, divided by *realistic* billable days/hours. This is the number below which you lose money — most people's "gut" rate is under it. Show the calc. > e.g. (£90k target + £20k

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
