Quick answers.
What is a rate card?
A rate card is a one-page document that lists your services and what you charge for them. Think of it as your professional price list — something you can email to a potential client, attach to a proposal, or post on your website. It sets expectations upfront and saves you from writing the same pricing email over and over.
Should I share my rates publicly?
There's no single right answer. Some freelancers swear by transparent pricing — it filters out bad-fit clients and saves time. Others prefer to keep rates private and quote per project. Either way, having a polished rate card ready to send on request is a must. It makes you look established and helps clients take you seriously.
What format does this rate card template come in?
It's a standalone HTML file. Open it in any browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), fill in your services and rates, then hit Ctrl+P (or Cmd+P on Mac) to save as a clean PDF. No apps, no account, no waiting. If you want a fully editable version in Google Docs or Notion, that’s in the Freelance Starter Kit.
