Description
The PI Retainer Calculator was designed to aid you in establishing how much a case should cost and what level of retainer you should obtain from the client. The primary assumed goal is to get a 100% retainer up front, thus avoiding having to invoice and collect fees.
This calculator considers the field time, travel time, mileage estimate per investigator, an estimated time for video editing and report writing, and case management time. In many PI firms, there is some level of this type of office work, but it is easy not to calculate it into your retainers’ fees upfront.
This calculator also gives you pricing for 2 and 3 investigators per case and the ability to discount for additional investigators and up to 4 scenario options providing you with a large variety of options to present to your client.
* The PI Retainer Calculator is a downloadable spreadsheet made in Microsoft Excel 365 and intended for use in Excel or other spreadsheet programs that support all Microsoft Excel 365 formatting and calculations. It is incumbent on the purchaser to ensure that the software the purchaser has will support this spreadsheet.
