What to write in a price increase letter
Write a price increase notice that retains clients and manages the conversation professionally. Fill in your details below, copy the prompt, and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
Price increase communications often bury the lead or over-explain before getting to the number. Clients who need to budget for the change need the number up front, not after two paragraphs of rationale. Delaying it reads as evasiveness.
A price increase notice that maintains trust is direct, gives adequate notice, explains the reason briefly without over-justifying it, and ends with a clear next step. Clients who respect the relationship can handle a price increase; what erodes trust is poor communication around it.
Enter who you are writing to, what is increasing, the current and new price, when it takes effect, the reason, and any transition offer. The AI gives you a letter that handles the conversation professionally and maintains the relationship.

Tips for writing this
- 1Lead with the price change, not a lengthy explanation. Your client needs to see the number first.
- 2Give at least 30 days notice. 60 days is more considerate for significant increases.
- 3Do not apologize for your prices. Acknowledge the change factually and explain the value.
Common questions
How do I handle clients who push back on a price increase?+
Have a clear conversation about the value you deliver and what has changed. If a long-term client cannot accommodate the increase, consider a smaller step-up over two cycles rather than a full increase at once.

Which AI tool works best for this?+
Claude and ChatGPT both work well. Claude tends to produce more natural, nuanced writing for personal situations. ChatGPT is strong for structured business and professional writing. Try both and keep the version that sounds more like you.
Should I use the AI output word for word?+
Use it as a strong first draft, then edit it to sound like you. The AI gives you the structure and language to work from. Reading it out loud is one of the best ways to catch anything that does not feel natural in your voice.
