What is a freelance price floor?

A freelance price floor is the minimum monetary rate or project fee an independent contractor sets to cover baseline labor, overhead expenses, taxes, and risk contingency. It acts as an unbreakable threshold below which quotes cannot be sent.

How does Floorly prevent underquoting during client negotiations?

Floorly analyzes unstructured client briefs using AI to extract deliverables, applies configurable complexity multipliers and contingency buffers, and validates all totals on the server against your minimum price floor before proposals can be shared.

How do clients pay milestone invoices generated in Floorly?

Clients pay you directly through your own payment links, UPI for INR, or bank account details attached to milestone invoices. Floorly does not hold funds or charge intermediary transaction commissions.

Why is a scope contingency buffer necessary on fixed-price projects?

Unstated revision cycles and technical edge cases frequently cause scope creep. A 10% to 20% contingency buffer cushions fixed-price deliverables against unanticipated client requests without lowering your effective hourly wage.

Does Floorly take transaction fees or cuts from client payments?

No. Floorly charges zero payment processing transaction fees. You retain 100% of all client payments settled via your direct payment methods.
