💼 Freelancer Rate Calculator
Enter your target income and working preferences — get your minimum hourly and daily rate.
Calculate based on:
How is the freelancer rate calculated?
The calculator takes your target income plus all expenses, divides by your billable hours per year, and gives you the minimum rate to reach your goal.
Why add private expenses?
Your rate must cover not just business costs but also personal living expenses — rent, food, insurance, savings. Private expenses ensure your rate is truly sustainable.
Should I charge more than the minimum?
Yes — always add 20–30% buffer for unpaid admin time, slow months, and taxes. The rate shown is your floor, not your ceiling.
