Package vs Hourly Revenue Calculator

The Package vs Hourly Revenue calculator shows freelancers exactly when packaging beats the clock. Enter your proposed package price, your current hourly rate, the billable hours the project would take, and the unbilled hours that always sneak in (revisions, calls, scope creep). The calculator returns three numbers: total revenue if you billed hourly, total revenue from the package, and the effective rate the package produces across all hours actually spent. The insight callout reframes the gap in plain language and flips automatically if hourly would earn more, prompting you to raise the package price or tighten scope.
