Rate-raise worksheet
Your costs went up. Did your price?
Five fields, two minutes, no guessing. Fill in one client and the sheet builds the case: what their rate should be now, and what waiting has already cost you.
The case for a new rate

Extra over a year$0
Margin given away while you waited$0
How it works, so you can argue with it: the new rate first restores the margin you had before costs rose, then prices the extra work on top. Margin given away assumes your costs rose steadily over those months. Taxes and discounts are not included.
A raise you never asked for is a discount you gave
Most rate reviews never happen because nobody puts them on the calendar. That is scheduled work, and scheduled work is what we build an AskEleven Employee to run: on the day you set, for the accounts you choose.
