Guru Pricing Calculator
Set a target for what you want to keep from a Guru project, then test your current invoice beside the suggested price. With custom job fee off, the selected plan supplies the researched 9%, 7%, 6%, or 5% fee context. Turn it on to use the editable fee field as an explicit override, including 0%. The math keeps listed job fee and employer-covered percentage points separate, allocates membership and fixed withdrawal costs across monthly jobs, and flags margin targets that the entered fee assumptions cannot support.

How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Use the selected plan's researched fee unless custom job fee is on; then use the entered fee exactly, including 0%.
- 2Calculate remaining freelancer job-fee percentage after employer contribution.
- 3Combine that variable fee with the withdrawal percentage.
- 4Allocate membership and fixed withdrawal cost across monthly jobs, then add project and operating cost.
- 5Solve target take-home as (target plus fixed costs) divided by the remaining revenue share.
- 6Solve target margin by including the margin target in the denominator.
- 7Return a review status instead of an impossible infinite price.
Formulas
- Listed fee% = selected plan rate unless custom job fee is on, then the entered custom fee
- Remaining job fee% = max(0, listed job fee% − employer points)
- Fixed per-project cost = membership ÷ monthly jobs + fixed withdrawal × withdrawals ÷ monthly jobs + project costs + operating allocation
- Net = invoice × (1 − remaining job fee% − withdrawal%) − fixed per-project cost
- Invoice for net = (target net + fixed costs) ÷ (1 − remaining fee% − withdrawal%)
- Invoice for margin = fixed costs ÷ (1 − remaining fee% − withdrawal% − target margin)
Important assumptions
- With custom job fee off, the selected plan supplies Basic at 9%, Basic+ at 9%, Professional at 7%, Business at 6%, or Executive at 5%. Turn it on to use the editable job-fee field instead, including a deliberate 0%.
- Employer contribution is modeled as percentage points of invoice value, capped at the listed fee. It depends on each Agreement and is not a universal plan benefit.
- Membership and fixed payout charges are allocated across expected monthly jobs. Project and operating allocations are per project.
- The solver treats the withdrawal percentage as a percentage of the invoice. It does not assume that Guru membership prices are refundable; researched context says memberships are non-refundable and prices can change.
- Target results are before income tax unless you include a tax reserve in another scenario.

Worked example
1,000 invoice for an 800 take-home
Custom job fee is off, so the Professional plan supplies its 7% fee. There is no employer contribution, membership is 21.95 per month across four jobs, project costs are 75, and operating allocation is 25.
