Freelancer Hourly Rate Calculator
Stop guessing your minimum rate.
Freelancer Hourly Rate Calculator works backward from your desired take-home income and business expenses, grosses that figure up by your target profit margin, and divides it by your realistic annual billable hours — accounting for unpaid time off and a billable-utilization percentage, since freelancers rarely bill 100% of the hours they actually work. Every step of the calculation is broken out and labeled clearly, so you see exactly how the final minimum hourly rate was derived rather than getting a single black-box number.
