Freelance Rate Calculator

About Freelance Rate Calculator

Calculate the hourly rate you need to charge to meet your annual income goals. This tool accounts for your business expenses and the fact that not all working hours are billable.

Features

• Income goal targeting
• Expense integration
• Billable hours adjustment
• Vacation/Time-off planning

How to Use

1. Enter your Desired Annual Income (Take-home).
2. Estimate your Annual Business Expenses (Software, Hardware, etc.).
3. Set your Billable Hours per Week (exclude admin time).
4. Set your Working Weeks per Year (account for holidays).

Pro Tip

Most freelancers can only bill 60-70% of their working time. The rest goes to finding clients, admin work, and learning. Be realistic with your "Billable Hours" to ensure you don't undercharge.
