How Much Should I Charge as a Freelancer?

A reproducible way to use occupation evidence as one input to a quote.

Start with the closest occupation

Search your title and review the matched core occupation, official source, mapping class, and limitations.

Understand the calculation

official employee-wage anchor × 1.75 = modeled freelance planning benchmark. The coefficient is applied once. No experience, client-market, purchasing-power, or premium-target multiplier is hidden in the result.

Add personal and project context separately

Compare the benchmark with your personal minimum. Then consider scope, urgency, scarce expertise, fees, budget, and negotiation leverage as quote context.
