Setting a new standard for pricing creative work

With Faktor creative freelancers spend less time guessing, researching and trying to figure out how to price, and more time doing the creative work.

The numbers

We conducted a survey and found that while 70% of participants have been working for 3+ years, over half of them feel insecure when pricing their services.

We asked freelancers

  • 0%feel confident with their pricing
  • 0%believe pricing should be based on more than just scope
  • 0%price their services based on who the client is

The values and motivations that underline Faktor

  • Community

    We believe building something impactful can only be done with insight and feedback from community. Our products are developed with the help of real creatives. We continue to explore new ways in which we can include the Faktor community in our development process.

  • Free forever calculator

    Inclusivity and equal opportunity are important to us at Faktor, which is why the calculator will always be a free and open source tool.

  • Transparency

    At Faktor we are an open book. We offer full transparency of our calculation model to make sure that users understand how the prices are generated. We publish change updates for the community via our socials, blog and newsletter.

What is a factor?

Mathematically a factor is a multiplier. In our calculation factors add a percentage to the base price of a service. More importantly the factors reflect real world variables that should impact your prices.
