Retainer vs project quote
Two prices, two hour counts. This page shows the effective hourly rate of each and which one is higher. It does not tell you which deal to take.
Comparison of the numbers you type, not advice. A higher hourly rate ignores scope risk, quiet months, and late payment.

How it is worked
- Retainer hourly = monthly fee ÷ retainer hours.
- Project hourly = project price ÷ project hours.
- The higher one is the larger of those two rates. Equal rates are called a tie.
- Not a contract, not pricing advice, and not a tax calculation.
