SELF ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR ALTERNATE PRICING
Please reflect on the self assessment tool below to help you consider if you should ask for alternative pricing.
I understand that individual situations can be complex and nuanced, and I hope that this list of questions can help support personal reflection and critical discernment.
*the following rate assessment tool has been borrowed and slightly modified from AORTA
1. are you and your family homeowners or landowners?
2. have you attended private education institutions or do you have an advanced degree?
3. are your bills or credit cards on autopay?
4. do you receive health insurance through your place of employment/school?
5. do you have zero to no debt and/or do you have disposable income?
6. do you have a safety net composed of “financially stable” or wealthy family and friends?
7. do you have a Canadian Citizenship?
8. does your income only support you, and not other loved ones?
9. have you or do you expect to inherit money or property?
10. do you have employment with a fixed monthly/yearly salary?
11. have you (or could you have) attended graduate school? (MA/PhD)
DETERMINING YOUR RATE
based on your answers to the self assessment, here are the suggested rates:
if you answered more no than yes → alternate pricing could be right for you
if you answered more yes than no → standard rate is more appropriate
