Calculator FAQ
If yours isn't here, the contact form goes straight to the founder's inbox.
Because at our stage, the contractors we want to work with are the ones whose numbers actually justify the engagement. If your unit economics don't work with Iron Pine yet, hiring us anyway hurts us both — we get a client who churns at month 6, you waste $15,000. The calculator is honest because honest is better business in the long run.
