About this printable

Most freelancers price by looking sideways at what other people charge. That tells you what the market tolerates. It tells you nothing about whether you can live on it.

This guide starts with the arithmetic instead: the income you need after tax, plus tax and pension and insurance, plus business costs, divided by the number of days you are genuinely billable - which for most people is 120 to 150, not 250. The result is your floor, the number below which you are subsidising your clients out of your own savings. Almost everyone doing this for the first time finds their current rate does not survive it.

From there: choosing between hourly, daily, fixed, retainer and value based, with the honest trade-off of each; how to quote fixed price without losing money, where scope rather than mispricing is the actual risk; and a three tier rate card built so the middle option is the one you recommend out loud.

Then the part people really need - six scripts to say almost word for word. Asked the price too early. Told you are too expensive. Asked for a discount. Asked to work for exposure. Scope has crept. Raising a long-standing client. Followed by payment terms that prevent the chase, when and how much to raise your prices, and a twice yearly pricing review that takes half an hour.

Downloading and printing

How does the download work?

Pay and the files are yours straight away. A download link appears on the confirmation page and the same link is emailed to you, so nothing depends on you staying on the site. Links stay live for 72 hours and each file can be downloaded up to 5 times, so save it to your own device on the first go. Full walkthrough: how to download.

Printing tips for the best result

Print at 100% or "actual size" rather than "fit to page", otherwise the margins shift and the pages stop lining up. A4 and US Letter are both included, so pick whichever your printer is loaded with. Plain paper is fine; use thicker paper for pages you will write on every day or keep for a long time.

What the licence allows

Your purchase covers personal use and use in a single classroom by one teacher. Print as many copies as you need for your own family or class. You may not resell the files, pass them to other staff or schools, upload them anywhere, or use them commercially. For a whole-school or department licence, get in touch. Full wording: licence terms.

Refunds on digital goods

Because the file is delivered instantly and cannot be handed back, downloads are not refundable once the link has been sent. If a file will not open, is missing pages, or is not what this page described, contact us and we will fix it or refund you. The refund policy has the detail.
