How to use
- Enter the monthly take-home income you want, the hours you can actually bill each week, your monthly business expenses, and your tax rate.
- The calculator works backwards: income + expenses, grossed up for tax, divided by billable hours per month (weekly hours × 4.33). Results update live as you type.
- Use the project quote box for fixed-price proposals, and the rate table when a client asks for a half-day or multi-week price.
Note: Be honest about billable hours — most freelancers bill 15 to 30 hours a week, not 40. This is an estimate for planning only, not financial advice.
