What Should I Charge?Page 6

A page from the guide. Dollar figures are examples, not rules.

You're not underpaid because you lack the skill. You're underpaid because nobody ever showed you the numbers.

A rate that's a little too low doesn't feel like much on one invoice. Across a year of client work, it's the difference between a business that pays you properly and one you quietly resent. Most bookkeepers don't fix that on instinct. They need a floor, a structure, and a sentence to say when someone pushes back.

What you'll have when you finish

Each one is decided on the page, not left as homework.

Your modelHourly, fixed monthly, or packages, and when to use each.

Questions

Is this only for the US?

The example price ranges are in US dollars. The method (floor, packages, quote) works anywhere, but check the numbers against your own market.

I'm not certified. Is it still useful?

Yes. The floor calculation and the packages don't depend on certification.

How long does it take?

About 15 minutes to read straight through. Plan on 20 to fill in the worksheets and have an actual number written down.

Why is it only $9?

It's a short guide that does one job. Pricing it like a course would be the exact mistake it tells you not to make.

Something went wrong with my order.

Email [email protected] with the address you used at checkout and we'll sort it out.

Decide your number this week.

You'll quote someone eventually. It may as well be a figure you worked out rather than one you hoped they'd accept.
