How the maths works
Each package has typical hours. Price = (hours ÷ 8) × your day rate × a location multiplier (×1.0 regional, ×1.15 big city, ×1.4 London / NYC / SF-tier), rounded to a friendly number. The typical-project range comes from average creative rates for your country and city tier. These are starting points — charge more the moment your calendar fills.
