DevCalc – Price Freelance Projects With Real Profit

DevCalc is a simple Google Sheets calculator that helps freelance software and web developers price projects with confidence.

It includes:

• Project-based pricing (not hourly guesswork)

• Risk, overhead and negotiation buffers

• Automatic profit calculation

• Client-ready proposal export (PDF)

• Clean, professional structure – no bloated features

This tool is for you if you:

• Work on fixed-price or hybrid projects

• Want to avoid underquoting

• Prefer simple tools over complex software

Example:

A 71-hour project at $80/hour.

Base cost: $5,680

Buffers (meetings, risk, negotiation): $1,704

Profit (20%): $1,476.80

Final project price: $8,860.80

Not for agencies or teams with complex multi-project setups.
