Protect the full value of your work.
One missed session fee. One overlooked usage term. One forgotten exclusivity clause. That's all it takes to undervalue your work by hundreds, or sometimes thousands, of dollars. The Rate Guide you trust. Now with the guidance to use it.
You know the project.
We know what to ask.
Tell the Calculator what you're quoting and it'll guide you through the details that matter when deciding what to charge.
What you don't know shouldn't cost you.
Some questions don't fit in a dropdown.
When the answer depends on context, ask Gertrude, our Rate Guide Assistant built around the GVAA Rate Guide.
She can help you work through unusual terms, understand why a rate applies, prepare for client pushback, and navigate the gray areas where there isn't a simple answer.
Ask Gertrude
Show your client what they're paying for.
A rate without context can feel arbitrary. A detailed quote makes it clear what the project includes and gives you and your client confidence in the price.
Turn your rate into a client-ready quote or invoice with your branding, project details, and everything they need to understand the agreement.
When the value is clear, the price is easier to defend.
One accurately quoted job could pay for a year of the Calculator several times over.
Maybe you've never quoted paid usage before. Maybe you've handled it a hundred times, but this client wants terms you've never seen.
The Rate Guide Calculator meets you where you are, from explaining industry practices to helping you think through the exceptions.
Once you've quoted with it, you won't want to quote without it.
