 Sliding Scale Pricing

  • A sliding scale system is a pricing model where the cost of a product or service varies based on someone’s ability to pay. Instead of a fixed price, there is a range of prices offered, and individuals select the price point that best aligns with their financial situation and other factors.

  • Siding scales are an important tool for economic justice. We should all have access to help when it comes to complying to a system that we don’t consent to. Sliding scales are meant to make prices accessible for folks who normally cannot afford to pay a very high price of getting their taxes filed. The hope is for folks who have capacity to pay more will do so, to make it easier for folks who cannot pay as much to pay less.

    This is also meant to be a chance for you to reflect on your income, different intersections of privilege and advantages as you consider what scale you pay.

  • Stone (for folks unable/struggle to meet their basic needs) - $55

    Sand (for folks who can meet basic needs & have some expendable income) - $120

    Clay (for folks who can meet their basic needs & have ample expendable income) - $210

  • No. This is an honor code system, I don’t require “proof” of any scale. Please be honest.

  • Yes! If you select the Paypal option at the checkout (after you fill out the intake form and I send you my calendly link) there is the payment plan option (ex: pay in 4’s, monthly payments, etc).

Pay more on the scale if you:

  • have a savings account

  • travel recreationally

  • have earning power (even if you’re not using it right now) from college degree(s), able-bodiedness, race, gender, social networks and family connections

  • and your family are homeowners or landowners

Pay less on the scale if:

  • are on public assistance

  • don’t have a savings account

  • you were formerly incarcerated

  • have significant debt that prevents you from meeting your basic needs

  • have a chronic illness or disability that impacts your ability to earn income

  • you are unable to access healthcare

When folks (who are able to) pay the higher scale, they make it possible for me to offer the lowest scale, and keep prices as affordable as I can. This is an honor code system, I don’t require “proof” of any scale. Please be honest. Depending on my capacity, I fundraise for sponsored spots to help cover expenses for folks who need the support. Please fill out my contact form if you would like to inquire about a sponsored spot.
