What this tool does and why

Before you start

What

Add "small" extra asks to a freelance project one by one and watch your effective hourly rate shrink.

Why

Small additions to a fixed quote consume time and reduce the effective hourly rate before the project appears obviously over budget.

How this tool stays honest

How it works

Start with a quoted project and rate, then add small "just one more thing" asks one at a time — each one recalculates your real effective hourly rate live, making scope creep visible before it quietly eats your margin.

Assumptions

The tool runs in your browser and models the information you provide. It does not know facts outside that model.

Limitations

This is a simplified explanatory model, not a load test or production forecast. Real systems can include dependencies, distributions, failures, and feedback loops outside the selected inputs.

What this tool helps you understand

Start with a quoted project and rate, then add small "just one more thing" asks one at a time — each one recalculates your real effective hourly rate live, making scope creep visible before it quietly eats your margin.

When to use it

Before accepting extra work within a fixed project quote.

Try a scenario

Add revision hours while keeping the quoted fee fixed. Compare the effective hourly rate and decide which scope changes need a revised agreement.

How to read the result

Compare the shape and direction of different scenarios. The useful signal is how the result changes when an input changes, rather than one isolated number.

Assumptions and limits

This is a simplified explanatory model, not a load test or production forecast. Real systems can include dependencies, distributions, failures, and feedback loops outside the selected inputs.
