Calculate exactly what you need to charge to hit your income goals
Stop guessing at your rates. This calculator works backward from your income goal to tell you exactly what hourly, project, or retainer rate you need after taxes, expenses, and non-billable time.
What if I charge project rates not hourly?
The tool calculates both - effective hourly rate and the project rate needed to hit your income target.
Does it account for taxes?
Yes - self-employment tax (15.3%) plus income tax are factored in so you know what you actually take home.
I am just starting out - will this help me?
Especially helpful for beginners. Most new freelancers undercharge. This shows the math on what you actually need.
