Business & Freelancing

Work backwards from the income you want to the rate you need to charge.

How to use these calculators

Freelance pricing has to cover more than the hours spent doing client work. Unpaid sales, administration, software, taxes, platform fees and slow periods all affect the rate required to reach a sustainable income.

Before you make the decision

Use realistic billable hours rather than assuming every working hour is paid. Revisit the calculation when your expenses, utilization or income target changes.
