"I was losing $500-1000 per project to 'small' client requests. This tool helped me quantify and charge fairly. Game changer."

"I use this before every client call now. It gives me confidence to push back on unreasonable requests with data to back it up."
Scope creep is when a client adds new requirements, features, or tasks to a project after the initial agreement is signed. What starts as "just a small change" often turns into hours of unpaid work. Our calculator helps you quantify the real cost so you can charge fairly for every additional request.
Free users get 3 calculations per month. This is enough to evaluate the tool and handle occasional scope creep. For unlimited calculations, PDF export, proposal templates, and 30-day history, upgrade to Pro for $7.99/month.
The urgency multiplier (1.0x to 2.0x) reflects the premium you should charge for rushed work. Normal timeline = 1.0x, Emergency = 2.0x. This accounts for the stress, overtime, and opportunity cost of dropping everything for an urgent client request.
PDF export is a Pro feature. Pro users can generate branded PDF quotes with their business details, logo, and professional formatting to send directly to clients. Free users can copy the quote text to clipboard.
