Hourly Rate Calculator

Hourly Rate Calculator turns the income you want into the rate you need to charge. Enter your target take-home, the hours you can realistically bill, the weeks you take off, your monthly business costs and a tax buffer. The app shows the hourly, daily, weekly and monthly rate that adds up to your goal.

Most people set a price by dividing a salary by 2,000 hours. That number is wrong, because you do not bill every hour you work. Admin, quotes, holidays, sick days and quiet weeks all shrink billable time, while tax and business costs come off the top. This calculator accounts for all of it.

TWO WAYS TO RUN THE NUMBERS
Find my rate: enter the take-home income you are aiming for and see the hourly rate, day rate and monthly billing required to reach it.
Reverse check: enter a rate a client has offered and see the take-home income it actually leaves you once time off, costs and tax buffer are taken out.

THE FULL BREAKDOWN
Open the breakdown to see how the rate is built, line by line: take-home target, tax and buffer, business costs, and annual billing. Underneath, the year in numbers gives you working weeks and billable hours per year, so you can sanity-check whether the schedule is even possible.

WHO USES IT
Designers, developers, writers, translators, photographers, consultants, coaches, contractors and anyone quoting a project rate. Useful when a client asks for a day rate on the spot, when you are comparing a contract against a salary, or when you are deciding whether a retainer is worth the hours.

RATE CALCULATOR PRO
It also unlocks every currency symbol and lets you export or share a clean breakdown. Ads are removed.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Every figure is typed by you. There is no account, no sign-up, no bank connection and no tracking. Your numbers stay on the phone and the app works with no signal at all.

This is a calculator: it does arithmetic on the figures you enter. It is not financial, tax or legal advice, and it does not file anything for you. Check the result against your own situation before you quote it.
