A guide value based on your input, not tax advice.
Your rate is set. Now it justifies itself.
The best rate only convinces when the other person sees what they get for it. With profilo you build a profile page in minutes that shows your value before the conversation turns to numbers.
Start for freeHow the calculator works out your rate
The calculator starts from your target net income and works upward: add taxes and social contributions, add business costs, and you get the annual revenue you need. It divides that not by every working day but only by the ones you can actually bill, because no one pays you directly for sales, proposals and bookkeeping. The result is a rate that covers the gaps.
Make your value visible before the price
So your rate doesn't stand there naked, the other person needs something to anchor it to. With profilo you build a profile page under your name: services as a clear offer, projects as proof, a contact module as the next step. When people see what they get beforehand, they stop asking "why so much?" and start asking "when do we start?".
