Hourly Rate Calculator
How to Use
Enter your target annual income, number of billable days per year, and desired profit margin to calculate the minimum day rate and hourly rate to charge as a freelancer or contractor. Most freelancers overestimate billable days — a realistic figure accounts for holidays, sick days, admin time, and business development. Review your rate annually against inflation and market comparables.
