How to Price Your Coaching Packages

Coaching pricing starts from your income needs, not from what competitors charge. Work backwards from your desired take-home, add taxes and expenses, then divide by billable hours to get your true minimum hourly rate. Most coaches should then add a 30–50% premium above minimum.

Required Gross = (Take-Home + Expenses) ÷ (1 − Tax Rate)
Billable Hours/Month = (Weekly Coaching Hours − Non-Billable Hours) × 4.33
Min Hourly Rate = Required Gross ÷ Billable Hours/Month
Package Price (1:1) = Hourly Rate × Session Length × Sessions in Package
Group Price per Person = (Hourly Rate × Cohort Hours) ÷ Group Size × 1.3 (premium)
Max 1:1 Income = Billable Hours/Month × Hourly Rate

Typical Coaching Rates by Niche

  • Life / Mindset Coaching — $100–$300/hr. Competitive market, differentiation essential.
  • Business / Marketing Coaching — $200–$500/hr. High ROI for clients justifies higher rates.
  • Career / Executive Coaching — $250–$600/hr. Often employer-sponsored.
  • Health / Fitness Coaching — $75–$200/hr. Online delivery expands reach.
  • Relationship / Dating Coaching — $150–$400/hr. Emotionally charged, high willingness to pay.
How do I price my coaching packages?
Never price by the hour — price by the transformation. A client paying $2,000 for a 3-month business coaching package isn't buying 12 hours; they're buying a specific outcome (land a $10K client, launch a product, etc.). Start with your minimum rate from this calculator, add 30% for positioning, then frame every package around a clear outcome. Test the market: if everyone says yes immediately, you're underpriced.
When should I switch from 1:1 to group coaching?
When you have a waiting list or are turning away clients — that's supply constraint. Group coaching lets you serve 10–20 people in the same hours as 1–2 individual clients. The income multiplier is dramatic: 15 people at $997 each generates $14,955 from one 8-week cohort running 2 hrs/week. Many coaches run group as a "productized" lower-tier with 1:1 as the premium upgrade, creating a natural funnel.
