Fee ranges are estimates drawn from published industry pricing and real job breakdowns. They're a starting point for your own judgment, not a rate card, and not legal or financial advice.

This tool records the settings you choose, anonymously, to improve its ranges. It never asks who your client is. Downloading the PDF shares your email address and that estimate with Allen Cooley. Your email is used for updates only if you check the box, and you can ask to be removed at any time.
