Stop guessing your worth. Calculate the exact minimum hourly rate you need to charge to meet your income goals, pay taxes, and cover expenses.
Many freelancers make the mistake of dividing their desired salary by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks). However, as a freelancer, you have unbillable time (marketing, admin, emails), taxes (which are not withheld), and business expenses. This calculator accounts for those realities to ensure you don't lose money.
A common rule of thumb is that 30% of your freelance income goes to taxes, 20% goes to business expenses and unbillable time, and you keep the remaining 50%. Our calculator gives you the precise math based on your specific inputs.
