FEAT (Freelancer’s Estimation Assistance Tool)

Written on August 29, 2007 – 12:31 pm | by sascha |

FEAT (abbreviation for Freelancer’s Estimation Assistance Tool) is a tool to help freelancers calculate hourly rates and project pricing estimates. It is inspired by a very similar calculation PDF sheet which was created by Lauren of creativecurio.com and by some other useful freelancer pricing resources on the net.

The tool uses the same calculations like the ones from the links mentioned above plus it stores your values so you don’t have to enter them again every time. Version 1.0 features hourly rate calculation, a project pricing wizard and an option to change the visual theme of the tool. It also resides nicely on your desktop or wherever you put it and is there whenever you need to make an estimation.

It calculates a result from all entered expenses and modifiers to profit margin, retirement savings and working hours. The Project Pricing Wizard uses the formula task x time(complexity x effort) x rate = price which is explained in more detail here. But enough words, here are some screenshots …

Requirements/Installation

FEAT was written with Flex 2 and requires the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) to run which is freely available for download for Windows and Mac at the Adobe.
Once you have AIR installed on your system you can simply install FEAT by downloading it from the following link and double-clicking the file.
