Democratizing Financial Clarity for the Independent Economy

PocketRuler.app was created with a singular focus: to engineer a premier, one-stop suite of free client-side web applications and calculation engines that eliminate the mathematical guesswork holding back solopreneurs, digital nomads, and independent consultants.

Zero Paywalls, Forever Free

We do not believe in gating essential pricing mathematics behind monthly subscriptions, credit cards, or spammy email lists. Every calculator is 100% free and instantly usable.

Client-Side Privacy

Your income, expenses, and client rates are your business. Calculations happen client-side in your web browser. We never log or sell your confidential financial numbers.

Rigorous Mathematical Models

Our formulas account for real-world freelancing realities: self-employment taxes, unbillable marketing hours, operational overhead, and statutory expat tax regimes.

The Vision: A Unified Suite of High-Utility Web Applications

Most online calculators are cluttered with intrusive popups, slow server-side loading, or forced email opt-ins. PocketRuler was created as an antidote: fast, lightweight, and engineered for pure utility.

Our suite currently encompasses:

Freelance Rate vs. Retainer Calculator: Models true hourly pricing, day rates, unbillable marketing buffers, and converts hourly scopes into recurring monthly retainer tiers with a 1-click dynamic proposal pitch generator.
RelocateTrue Expat Tax & Relocation Engine: Benchmarks net take-home income, real-world living expenses, and purchasing power parity arbitrage across 85+ global cities or custom destinations.
Upcoming Utilities: Milestone invoice generators, contractor runway calculators, and scope builders.
