How to read the result

Price from the work backwards.

Use the effective hourly figure as a diagnostic, not as the only pricing method. Add research, messages, revisions, delivery and bookkeeping time. If a conservative estimate is not workable, reduce scope, improve the process or decline the order—do not assume future volume will repair a loss.
