Positioning Premium Calculator
The Positioning Premium Calculator quantifies what most freelancers leave on the table by staying generalists. Specialists command higher rates for the same work because clients pay for certainty, not hours, and a niche signals that certainty before the first conversation. This calculator lets you model that lift directly: enter your current generalist rate, dial in the premium specialists in your space typically command, and see the annual income gap on identical workload. The result is rarely small. A 75% premium on the same billable hours often translates to six figures of additional income per year, which reframes the question from "should I niche down" to "what is generalism actually costing me." Use it to pressure-test your positioning before your next rate conversation.
