Prepare a rate negotiation for a freelance project. My service and experience: [SERVICE_AND_EXPERIENCE]. The client and project: [CLIENT_AND_PROJECT]. My rate range and minimum: [RATE_RANGE_AND_MINIMUM]. Market information (verified): [MARKET_INFO]. Costs I must cover (taxes, tools, unpaid time): [COSTS]. Create: 1. A rate calculation: desired annual income plus business costs divided by billable hours (billable hours are often well below total working hours; use my own record or state the assumption you use); show the arithmetic and the resulting hourly and day rate. Include project-based pricing logic (estimate hours, add risk buffer, price on value). 2. Rate options: hourly, day rate, fixed price, retainer, value-based; when each fits. 3. Scripts: stating a rate with confidence (40 words), responding to "that's above our budget" (scope trade, phasing), responding to "a freelancer offered half", and asking for a deposit. 4. Terms to negotiate beyond price: payment schedule, kill fee, revision limits, usage rights, expenses. 5. A decision tree for discounts: only for scope, term, or prepayment. 6. A follow-up message with the agreement summarized. Mention that contracts should be reviewed by a lawyer [VERIFY] and taxes depend on [JURISDICTION].
