Rate calculator FAQ
How do I calculate my hourly rate as a freelancer?
Add your target income and annual expenses, divide by your billable hours per year, then add a margin for taxes, quiet periods, and unpaid admin time. This calculator does exactly that.
How many hours are actually billable?
Fewer than you think. Most solo operators bill 20–30 hours a week after sales, admin, and communication — and roughly 44–48 weeks a year after holidays and gaps. Be honest here or the rate lies to you.
Should I use the hourly or day rate?
Day rates simplify quoting for full days and read as one number to clients. The underlying math is the same — day rate is just the hourly figure times your standard day.
