How to write the price section of a service page.
For freelancers, consultants and solo operators who sell a service from one page. The price block is where a visitor decides whether to keep reading or leave, so it should answer "how much, for what, and what happens next" without an email. Below: how to pick a price format, the five things that belong next to the number, VAT wording, and a template you can copy.
Step 1 · Pick one price format
Fixed price
Best when the deliverable is the same every time (an audit, a report, a setup). Write it as: "€390 · one-time". Nothing to negotiate, nothing to ask.
From-price
Best when most jobs land near a floor but some grow. Write it as: "from €900" and say in one line what makes it cost more (pages, hours, rounds). A from-price without the "what moves it" line reads like a trap.
Range with drivers
Best for project work that really varies. Write it as: "€1,500–€4,000, depending on X and Y". Keep the range honest: if nearly every client pays the top, the bottom number is misleading.
Packages (three at most)
Useful only when buyers genuinely differ in what they need. Rule: no more than three, each named after the buyer's situation rather than "Basic / Pro / Premium", and each differing in what is delivered, not just in adjectives.
Avoid: "Contact us for a quote" as the only option. If you truly can't price before a conversation, at least show what past projects typically cost or what the first paid step costs.
Step 2 · Put these five things right next to the number
- What's included in concrete nouns: "one 60-minute call + written summary + 2 revision rounds", not "full support".
- Delivery time: "within 5 working days of payment" or "starts the week after booking".
- Payment terms: upfront, 50/50, or monthly, and by which method (card, bank transfer, payment link).
- What it doesn't include, in one line, so nobody is surprised later (e.g. "copywriting not included", "hosting billed separately").
- The button: one primary action that matches the format, e.g. "Pay €390 and send your brief" for a fixed price, "Book the scoping call" for a range.
If the visitor still has to scroll or email to learn any of these five, they will usually guess, and guesses tend to be worse than the truth.
Step 3 · Get the VAT and currency wording right
- Selling to consumers in the EU: the price you show generally has to be the final price including VAT. Write "€390 incl. VAT".
- Selling only to businesses: net prices are common. Say so explicitly: "€390 excl. VAT" or "net, plus VAT where applicable".
- Not VAT-registered (small-business exemption): say that the price includes no VAT and why, using the wording your country requires.
- Currency: show one currency with its symbol. If you also sell abroad, a second line ("about $420") is fine, but bill in one.
This is general information, not tax or legal advice. Rules differ by country and by who you sell to; check with your accountant if unsure.
Common mistakes to fix first
- Hourly rate as the headline price for a fixed deliverable. Buyers then have to estimate hours themselves. Lead with the job price; mention the rate only for extra work.
- Fake urgency or invented discounts ("was €900, now €390" when it never was €900). In the EU this can breach consumer-protection rules, and buyers notice.
- The price hidden at the bottom after long scrolling. Put at least the price and the button in the first screen or right after the "what you get" block.
- Several competing buttons around the price ("Book a call", "Download the brochure", "Subscribe"). Keep one; make the rest plain links (more in the call to action guide).
- Guarantees you can't honour. Only promise a refund or a redo if you will actually give it, and write the condition next to it.
Copy-paste template
Replace the brackets. Delete any line that isn't true for you rather than filling it with something vague.
[Name of the service] €[price] [incl. VAT | excl. VAT] · [one-time | per month] What you get: - [deliverable 1, concrete] - [deliverable 2, concrete] - [number] revision round(s) Delivery: [within N working days of payment] Payment: [upfront by card / payment link | 50% upfront, 50% on delivery] Not included: [one line] [ Button: Verb + outcome, e.g. "Pay €[price] and send your brief" ] How it works: 1) you [pay / book] 2) you send [what] 3) you receive [what] by [when]
Quick self-check
- Can a stranger tell the price without scrolling past the "what you get" block?
- Can they tell what arrives, when, and how they pay?
- Is there exactly one primary button near the price?
- Is the VAT wording correct for who you sell to?
- Is every claim near the price (discount, guarantee, "limited") actually true?
