Fee Structure
At KarenM, we use sliding scales for our services to make them accessible for those with lower incomes & wealth and to center our values and politics on redistribution. We believe in a solidarity economy that is centered on racial and economic justice, and is based on care for all and not profit for some.
How to Place Yourself on Our Sliding Scale:
Individual Pricing Options
We encourage you to take both income and wealth into consideration, though one’s wealth status is the most important when determining a sliding scale rate.
Income is what you make (usually monthly) from a job, disability, social security, etc.
Wealth is the personal property (homes, cars) + savings + income-generating assets (real estate, investments) minus liabilities (debts, loans) within your network and/or family.
Additionally, we encourage you to take your relative racial privilege and/or marginalization into account when choosing your rate. The questionnaire below is inspired by Resource Generation’s “Class Privilege Quiz”.
Ask yourself…
Are you and your family homeowners or landowners?
Have you attended private education institutions or do you have an advanced degree?
Are your bills or credit cards on autopay?
Have you had little to no difficulty accessing and affording healthcare or health insurance for you or your family members?
Do you have zero to no debt and/or do you have disposable income?
Do you have a safety net composed of “financially stable” or wealthy family and friends?
Do you have U.S. Citizenship?
