WorkJenny gives independent professionals practical calculators and lightweight project tools for pricing, scope, retainers and profitability.
Scope creep calculator
Separate requested work from approved work so extra effort has a visible commercial value.
Open calculatorRetainer profitability
Understand effective hourly economics and gross margin using the hours you actually deliver.
Open calculatorBuilt for the decisions freelancers actually make
A freelance business can look busy while still being underpriced. WorkJenny is designed around the commercial questions behind everyday client work: What should I charge? How much is this change request worth? Is this retainer profitable? How much margin is left on a project?
Each tool is designed to show the method, not hide the calculation. That makes the result easier to sanity-check and easier to explain to a client or collaborator.
Start with a number you can defend
A useful rate is not simply a competitor's hourly price. It should connect your target income with the amount of work you can realistically sell, while leaving room for business expenses and a deliberate safety buffer.
