Typical Planning Costs

At my hourly rate of $280/hr:

Investment Planning

$840 – $1,120

Typically takes 3 to 4 hours.

Additional time may be needed if you have numerous investments in non-retirement accounts or annuities.

Comprehensive Financial Planning

Includes investment planning

Individual (8–10 hrs) $2,240 – $2,800
Couple (10–12 hrs) $2,800 – $3,360

If needed, allow approximately 2 additional hours ($560) per child to address college planning and life insurance needs.

These are typical costs. Actual hours and costs depend on your situation's complexity and the scope of the work.
