5 Business Tools Explained
- Meeting Cost Calculator — Enter the number of attendees, average hourly salary, and meeting duration to see the real dollar cost of the meeting. Studies suggest unnecessary meetings cost U.S. companies over $37 billion per year; this tool makes that cost visible in real time.
- Hourly Rate Calculator — Determine the minimum hourly rate you need to charge as a freelancer or contractor to cover your annual income goal, taxes, benefits, and unbillable hours (admin, vacation, business development). Inputs include target income, weeks worked per year, and billable hours per week.
- Invoice Generator — Create a simple, print-ready invoice with line items, quantities, rates, tax, and totals. The invoice is rendered in the browser and can be printed or saved as a PDF using your browser's print function.
- Business Name Generator — Generate business name ideas by combining keywords with common naming patterns (compound, descriptive, metaphorical, portmanteau). Useful for early-stage brainstorming before committing to domain registration.
- Markup Calculator — Calculate selling price from cost and desired markup percentage, or reverse-calculate the markup from cost and selling price. Also shows gross margin percentage. Note: markup and margin are different — markup is cost-based; margin is revenue-based.
