EARNED PROJECT VALUE Approximately $400. WORK VALUE AT TARGET RATE 10 hours × $45 = $450. PAYMENT COVERAGE The $600 already received covers both the earned project value of $400 and the $450 value of completed work at the target hourly rate. UNPAID WORK EXPOSURE $0. Current payments already cover the completed work. REMAINING CONTRACT VALUE $600 remains from the original project fee. This does not mean the freelancer is automatically entitled to that amount.

FINANCIAL RISK LEVEL LOW RISK FINAL ASSESSMENT The freelancer is financially covered for the work completed so far. The amount already paid exceeds the value of 10 hours at the target hourly rate by $150. CLIENT SETTLEMENT MESSAGE Thanks for letting me know about the project cancellation. I have reviewed the work completed and payments received. The payment already received covers the work completed to this point. I will organize the current project files and confirm the final handoff details.
