Tools.
Small calculators that show their working. No signup, no email wall, and no invented market rates: everything is computed from the numbers you type, using a formula printed on the page.
Freelance rate calculator
Work backwards from the income you need to an hourly, daily and weekly floor. Shows its working, and every result has a permalink.
Project cost estimator
Tick what the project needs and get a range in developer-weeks, with every line shown. Converts to money only against a day rate you supply.
Project brief builder
Answer a handful of questions and get a plain-text brief covering what it is, what done means, the real constraints and the budget. Nothing is stored.
