How to use this calculator in Australia

Use this calculator before quoting independent work in AUD or comparing self-employment with a salaried role. Include operating costs and realistic non-billable time in the plan.

The starting amounts are an illustrative, editable scenario. They are not official statistics, salary data or a recommended rate for Australia.

How to interpret the result

The AUD result is a gross baseline generated by your assumptions. Compare it with your field, seniority, client market, project responsibility and the value of the work.

Illustrative Australian scenario

An AUD 110,000 income goal plus AUD 14,000 in costs, divided over 1,150 billable hours with a 25% reserve, is an editable scenario rather than an Australian market benchmark.

Limitations

This calculator does not model Australian income tax, GST, superannuation, insurance, business registration or contractor classification. Confirm current requirements separately.
