Why ClearRate exists
ClearRate was created to answer a simple but important question:
What do handmade sellers actually earn per hour?
Many makers know their revenue, but far fewer know what remains after platform fees, materials, packaging, and time. Without that clarity, it’s difficult to know whether a business is truly sustainable.
ClearRate exists to make this visible.
Built for handmade sellers
Running a handmade business involves far more than making products. Listing items, responding to customers, packaging orders, managing materials, and maintaining a shop all take time.
These invisible hours are rarely factored into earnings.
ClearRate was designed specifically for makers to see their real hourly rate, profit margin, and how small pricing changes affect sustainability.
The goal is not complexity, but clarity.
Built independently
ClearRate was created by an independent maker and developer who wanted a simpler way to understand the reality of handmade business income.
It was built to provide clear, honest insight into the relationship between time, costs, and income, without the complexity of traditional accounting tools.
A simple, honest tool
ClearRate is intentionally simple.
There are no complicated spreadsheets or accounting knowledge required. Just enter your numbers, and ClearRate shows you the true relationship between your revenue, your costs, and your time.
This clarity helps makers make informed decisions and build sustainable businesses.
The philosophy behind ClearRate
ClearRate is built on a simple belief:
Clarity leads to sustainability.
Understanding your true hourly rate helps you price confidently, manage your workload, and build a business that supports you properly over time.
