Calculate your minimum freelance hourly rate
Turn your income goal, business costs, time off and realistic billable hours into a sustainable starting rate.
(income goal + costs) x (1 + reserve) / annual billable hours
How to use this calculator
Use realistic inputs rather than your best-case scenario. For freelance tools, include unpaid admin, sales and time off. For salary tools, compare gross values first and then verify local deductions separately.
What the result means
The result is a planning baseline, not a promise of market rates or take-home income. Demand, experience, scope, benefits and local rules can all change the right decision.
