Freelance Planner — Printable PDF Workbook (A4, US Letter & Tablet)
A planner built for how freelancing actually works — quarters that drift, invoices that go quiet, and a year that vanishes if nobody writes it down.28 designed pages. Undated, so you start any month and print any page as many times as you need. Supplied in A4, US Letter and a hyperlinked tablet edition.Why paper, when you already have appsBecause the thinking doesn't happen in the app. Software is good at storing what you decided. It's bad at making you decide. The pages here are deliberately slow — a quarter plan with room for three goals and no more, a week that separates billable hours from everything else, a review that asks what you avoided.Four sectionsPLAN — Year at a glance, Vision for the year, Quarter plan, Quarter review, Month at a glance, Month goals, Week plan, Week review, Day sheet.CLIENTS — Client profile, Contact log, Project brief, Project tracker, Pipeline tracker.MONEY — Rate worksheet, Invoice log, Expense log, Tax set-aside, Income by month.GROW — Testimonials and referrals, Content plan, Meeting notes, Ideas, Notes (dot grid and lined).The pages people tell me they use mostWeek plan — every day has a box for billable hours, tracked separately from everything else. Two weeks of honest logging usually produces an uncomfortable number, and that number is the one your pricing depends on.Rate worksheet — eight steps, working backwards. Take-home income you want, minus tax, plus business costs, divided by the hours you can genuinely bill. Most people find they're charging 30 to 40 percent under.Project brief — filled in before you quote, not after. Includes the section most freelancers skip: what is explicitly NOT included.Invoice log and Tax set-aside — designed to face each other in a binder. What's out, what's late, and how much of it isn't really yours.Week review — four minutes, and it ends with one uncomfortable question.Three files, one purchaseA4 — for the UK, Europe, India, Australia, anywhere A4 is standard.US Letter — correctly laid out for US and Canadian printers, not just A4 with different margins.Tablet edition, hyperlinked — four tappable side tabs jump straight to Plan, Clients, Money or Grow, with an index. Works in GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf or any app that imports PDFs.Designed to be printed, not just looked atLow-ink by design — hairline rules, one accent colour, no heavy fills. It looks deliberate in black and white, not broken.Print-safe margins so nothing clips, whatever printer you use.Real typography and a consistent baseline grid across all 28 pages. Not a spreadsheet with borders turned on.Print unlimited copies forever. It's a template, not a dated diary — reprint the pages you use and ignore the rest.Who it's forFreelancers, contractors, consultants and solo studios who want the thinking on paper and don't want another subscription. Especially good if you already track numbers digitally but keep drifting week to week without a plan.Who it isn't forAnyone wanting an automated system. This won't calculate anything, remind you of anything, or sync. It's paper. That's the point.Honest limitsThe money pages are structures for your own record-keeping. Nothing here is tax, legal or financial advice, and what counts as deductible varies by country and changes. Check anything that matters with a qualified accountant.Licence: print unlimited copies for your own business and unlimited client work. Don't resell or redistribute the files themselves.Edition 1, verified February 2026. Free updates for life — corrections and new pages land in your Gumroad library.30-day money back guarantee. Print a week of it. If it doesn't earn its place on your desk, ask and you get your money back.Frequently askedIs it dated? No. Every page is undated, so you can start in March, skip August, and print the same week sheet fifty times.Which file do I print? A4 outside North America, US Letter inside it. Print at 100% or "actual size" — never "fit to page", or the margins shift.Can I use it on an iPad? Yes — that's what the hyperlinked tablet edition is for. Import it into GoodNotes or Notability and write on it directly.Does it work in black and white? Yes, it was designed that way. One accent colour, hairline rules, no heavy fills.How many times can I print it? As many as you like, forever, for your own business.Is this an editable file? No, it's a print-ready PDF. The design and typography are fixed, which is what makes it look like a real planner rather than a form.Do I need a special printer or paper? No. Any home printer works. 100gsm paper stops bleed-through if you use fountain pens; standard copier paper is fine otherwise.
