Freelance Rate Estimator

This free freelance rate estimator turns your goals into a day rate and an hourly rate. It adds your target take-home income to your annual business expenses to find the revenue you need, then divides by the number of days you can actually bill each year — accounting for weeks off and the fact that not every working day is billable. Dividing the day rate by your billable hours gives the hourly figure. Use it as a floor for pricing, not a ceiling. Everything is calculated in your browser.
