How to use the hourly value calculator
This calculator helps you understand what your time needs to be worth. As a result, you can make better decisions about pricing, time blocks, offers, and low value tasks.
If you do not know your high value work percentage, choose “No” and the calculator will use a simple 60 percent estimate.
Your hourly value is now clearer.
Use these numbers as a starting point for your pricing, schedule, and weekly focus.
Protect your time before your schedule controls your business.
Your time is one of your most valuable business assets. However, many entrepreneurs spend too many hours on low value work, unpaid tasks, underpriced services, and scattered admin.

An hourly value calculator helps you estimate what your working time needs to be worth in order to support your income goal.
What are high value hours?
High value hours are the hours you spend on work that directly supports income, delivery, growth, sales, or important business outcomes.
What if I do not know my high value work percentage?

Use your result to review pricing, reduce low value work, protect focus blocks, and plan your next 30 days. The Hourly Value Toolkit can help with that step.
