Price Yourself Paid
Build prices that finally pay the founder.
The pricing calculator for product founders who want to pay themselves. Price Yourself Paid builds prices that cover your materials, your tax and your channels — and still leave real owner's pay and profit on the table.
The problem it solves
Most founders price by adding a bit to their costs and hoping. Then the year ends, the business technically made a profit, and somehow there's nothing left for you. The gap is almost always hiding in the numbers you didn't fully load into the price — pass-through costs, channel fees, and an owner's wage you never actually built in.
Price Yourself Paid works backwards from the pay you want, so the price on the shelf is one that funds the founder, not just the business.

Questions
How long do I have access?
Your licence gives you 12 months of access from the day you buy. During the launch there's no lifetime option — this keeps pricing honest while the tools are still growing.
Does it work outside New Zealand?
Yes. Price Yourself Paid is customisable to the currency and country where your business is based. You can also treat GST (NZ or Australia), sales tax (US) or VAT (Europe and UK) as a pass-through, so the split is based on money that's genuinely yours to allocate.
Do I need accounting software?
No. If you can read your bank balance, you can use this. It sits alongside whatever you already use.
What's the LAUNCH code?
It applies the launch price at checkout and runs through the end of 2026. After that, the tool moves to its standard price.
