What it does

Stop guessing your prices. Connect your monthly expenses and lifestyle goals to math. Find out exactly what you need to charge to survive vs thrive. A specialized offline calculator for serious freelancers.

### 🛑 Are you subsidizing your clients? Most freelancers make a fatal mistake: they calculate their rate based on what they want to earn monthly, divided by 160 hours (standard 40h/week). That's a trap. You don't work 160 billable hours. You have admin work, marketing, sick days, and holidays. If you charge based on 160 hours, you are losing money every single hour you work. ### 📉 The Solution:

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
