The Professional Organizers Fix Kit
Built for professional organizers.
Organizers search what to charge per hour. The rate is only half of it. The money leaks in the hours around the session: free consults, shopping trips billed at nothing, donation drop-offs in your own car, travel nobody priced, short sessions that eat a whole morning, late payments, and taxes no one withheld. I wrote this kit so you can check each one against your own jobs and calendar.

Free: one full leak from this kit
No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 8 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.
An hourly rate that ignores the unpaid hours around each job
You can close it- Pick your last five clients. For each, log every hour: inquiry calls, consult, planning, shopping, sessions, donation runs, follow-up.
- Divide what you were paid by total hours (CALCULATED: paid / total hours).
- Compare that to your posted hourly rate.
- Decide which unpaid tasks to price, bundle into packages, or stop doing.
- There is no single published benchmark for organizer rates. Your own log is the benchmark.
Your part: Log five jobs and price from the real hours.
Your job tally: Client: [NAME] | Paid: [AMOUNT] | Session hours: [HOURS] | Unpaid hours: [HOURS] | Real hourly: [PAID / TOTAL HOURS]
Log hours by task on every job.
What this kit can't decide for you: We never tell you what to charge.
That's 1 of 8. The other 7 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

Those searches turn up forms, averages and other people's numbers.
