the Rate Calculator for Education Consultants 

Researched and Developed by Angela Stockman

 

 

Finally: A tool that helps education consultants establish an ethical and appropriate rate.

Are you tired of pulling daily rates out of thin air and hoping they’re “fair”? Watching less experienced consultants charge more because they have better pricing confidence? Leaving money on the table because you’re not sure how to value transformational vs. simple improvement work? Spending hours researching market rates only to second-guess yourself anyway?

What if you could confidently quote rates that reflect the true value of your work in under 5 minutes?

The Intentional Facilitator Rate Calculator is designed specifically for education consultants who are serious about getting paid what they’re worth and just as committed to charging a fair rate inside of what is truly a service profession. This isn’t some generic freelancer rate calculator. It’s a data-driven tool that factors in what actually matters in education consulting: project stakes, transformation depth, regional markets, and your unique expertise and experience.

These Features Make It Worth the Cost:

Impact-Based Pricing
Stop charging the same daily rate whether you’re tweaking a curriculum or leading district-wide transformation. This calculator automatically adjusts your rates based on project complexity and organizational stakes.

Regional Market Intelligence
The built-in rate data adjusts for six different market types—from rural areas to international markets—so you’re always competitive but never underpriced.

Experience Recognition
Your years of expertise, education level, and specialized recognition get properly weighted in your rate—no more imposter syndrome pricing.

True Business Cost Integration
It also factors in your real overhead costs (healthcare, retirement, professional development) so you’re not accidentally working for free.

Prep Time Protection
Remember to add days for your off-site preparation work, so you get paid for all the behind-the-scenes design that makes you an intentional, high quality facilitator.

Who This Is Perfect For:

  • Seasoned education consultants who know their stuff but still struggle with pricing confidence
  • Former teachers who are transitioning to consulting and in need of market rate guidance
  • Specialized practitioners whose transformational work calls for premium pricing
  • Consultants seeking clearly defensible rate structures

Answers to frequently asked questions:

How was the algorithm created?

I conducted market research across multiple data sources spanning both American and international markets. I analyzed publicly available information from 20 large school districts in the United States and internationally and supplemented this with data provided by interviewing 25-30 international professional learning consultants. Additionally, I conducted direct outreach including a brief survey with 50 professional learning facilitators across different regions, interviews with 5-8 district professional development coordinators from various countries, and contacted 3-5 established consulting firms operating in multiple markets.

Through separate regional studies, I uncovered important nuances between developing and developed countries, as well as distinctions between rural, suburban, and metropolitan areas.

High-cost cities like New York City, Toronto, and Washington D.C. showed markedly different rate structures compared to smaller communities. This research enabled me to identify key patterns including rate ranges by experience level, service type, and geographic context, along with critical factors that influence pricing such as local cost of living, travel requirements, materials development, and customization needs.

The formula I’m using incorporates these variables to generate personalized rate recommendations that reflect regional market conditions, ensuring consultants can price their services competitively while accounting for local economic factors and the specific requirements of each engagement.

I originally built this as a spreadsheet for my own use because I was tired of inconsistent pricing and second-guessing myself. When other consultants saw it and wanted copies, I realized the research and framework I’d developed had broader value.
