Your minimum rate is your floor — not your price.
Most freelancers undercharge because they've never done the math. They pick a number that feels competitive, or they copy what someone else charges, without knowing if it actually covers their life. This tool gives you the math. Once you know your floor, you can build from there — raise your rate with every new client, every new skill, every result you can prove. That's how you stop trading time for survival and start building real income freedom.
