How to correctly calculate the cost of work for a project?

Question

Web development

Hello. I am a beginner freelancer. I make websites of various types.
For my little experience, I never learned how to correctly evaluate the cost of my work. Always relied on the prices of other programmers. Or I looked at how much it costs to complete such an order in web studios and took half of their price.
Help with advice, or share solutions on how to properly evaluate your work.

Answer 1

Multiply the estimated number of hours by the cost per hour and then multiply by Pi.

Answer 2

Estimate how many hours you will spend on the project, multiply by your hourly rate and get the price for the entire project.

Answer 3

It will come with experience. Break the amount of work into specific tasks and estimate in hours. Add a little to the final time for debugging and testing.

Answer 4

Every freelancer has an hourly rate. But not always such prices can suit the client. For example, I always count small tasks or tasks from web studios by the hour. Some average in volume and simple in execution (not from web studios. They will not become poorer, because they set a price for the client at least 3 times higher than freelancing) I estimate by the hour, but subtract 30 percent from the amount received. Thus, I have a task that I do in parallel with another project and do not strain too much on time, as the client understands that he paid several times cheaper. But you don't have to worry about deadlines either. :)
