Freedom Founder Calculator | Free Score in 5 Minutes

Most founders built a job, not a business.

They built something that depends entirely on them. Somewhere along the way, the business stopped feeling like freedom and started feeling like a trap. This workbook changes that.

Work through each module honestly. The numbers don't judge you - they show you exactly where to focus.

1
Show you where you are
The Freedom Ladder gives you an honest picture of how trapped your business currently is.
2
Calculate your real number
Your Freedom Number is what your ideal life costs - and what your business needs to generate to fund it.
3
Name your specific blocker
Every stuck founder has one primary constraint. This workbook helps you identify yours.

Your name

Select the level that honestly describes where you are right now.

LVL 1

Level 1 - Exit the Job

Do everything yourself

No real team or systems. If you stop, it all stops.

LVL 2

Level 2 - Exit the Role

Delegate tasks, not decisions

You have some help but every major decision flows through you.

LVL 3

Level 3 - Exit the Company

Lead, don't do

A team runs the day-to-day. You set direction.

LVL 4

Level 4 - Exit the Industry

Govern, don't manage

The business runs without you. You choose your involvement.

LVL 5

Level 5 - Exit Everything

Invest and cash out

Multiple income streams. Full optionality.

Where do you want to be in 3 years?

What would reaching that level change about your life?

The Dependency Audit

How many of these are true for your business right now?

Tick every statement that applies. Be honest.

I am the primary relationship with most of our clients The business would slow significantly if I took 4 weeks off Key processes exist only in my head - they are not documented I regularly do work that a more junior person could do Most decisions - even small ones - come back to me My team could not onboard a new client without me I have not taken a real holiday without checking in this year

What is the single biggest way your business depends on you?

What would it take to remove yourself from that in the next 90 days?

Your Freedom Number is not what you earn - it is what your ideal life costs every month. Start here, before any business numbers.

Part A - Your Monthly Freedom Number

Monthly living expenses

$

Rent / mortgage, food, utilities, transport, insurance, healthcare

Monthly savings and investment

$

Emergency fund, retirement contributions, investment accounts

Freedom premium

$

Travel, experiences, gifts - anything that makes life feel abundant

YOUR MONTHLY FREEDOM NUMBER

Add the three figures above

$0

Annual Freedom Number (monthly x 12)

Automatically calculated

$0

A note on your number. Most founders are surprised - either lower than expected or higher, revealing why they have been undercharging for years.

Part B - Your Business Number

What does your business currently generate?

Current monthly revenue

$

Total billings / receipts per month

Current profit margin (%)

What % stays after all costs

Current monthly take-home

$

What you actually pay yourself each month

Current hours worked per week

Honest average including evenings / weekends

REQUIRED MONTHLY REVENUE

Freedom Number / Profit Margin % = Revenue needed

e.g. $10,000 / 30% = $33,333 / month

Your required monthly revenue:

-

Part C - The Gap

GAP	HOW TO CALCULATE	YOUR FIGURE
Revenue gap	Required minus current revenue
Take-home gap	Freedom Number minus take-home pay
Hours to reclaim	Current minus target hours / wk

3-Year Targets

3-year monthly revenue target

$

3-year take-home target

$

Target hours per week

Rate each area 1-5. 1 = major problem · 5 = genuine strength.

Be honest - the diagnosis is only useful if the input is accurate.

Which blocker scored lowest? That is your primary constraint.

Why do you think this has been the hardest to fix?

A 90-day plan with one clear focus is worth more than a year of scattered effort. Pick your primary constraint from Module 3 and go deep - not wide.
