The Scope Creep Cost Calculator

"Quick favors," extra revisions, "while you're at it" additions — they feel small. Add them up and most freelancers are donating a used car every year. See your number.

If you charge per project, estimate: project price ÷ hours it actually takes.
Extra revisions, small additions, calls that became work sessions. Industry surveys put the average at 3–5 hrs/week.
