Freelance Hourly Rate Calculator
Calculate the hourly rate you need to charge to meet your income goal.
About this Calculator
Many freelancers underprice themselves because they forget to account for taxes, unbillable hours, benefits, and overhead. This calculator starts with your target annual take-home income and works backward through self-employment taxes, business expenses, vacation days, and non-billable hours to arrive at the minimum hourly rate you must charge to hit your goal. Adjust variables to find the rate that makes your freelance business financially sustainable.
