I encourage clients to reflect on a few factors that influence financial access, household income, access to generational wealth or financial support, and financial responsibilities (dependents, student loans, credit card debt). I trust clients to self assess and would never ask for justification. I understand that financial access and security is complex and personal.

If you still have concerns about self assessing, here is a scale that might be helpful. This is a suggestion, as I understand financial security is often related to factors other than income.

$30,000 and below - $95

$30,000 to $60,000 – $110

$60,000 to $100,000 - $145

$100,000 and above - $175
