Freelance Rate Calculator

Most freelancers undercharge — not because they don't know their worth, but because they forget to account for taxes, non-billable time, business costs, and the weeks they actually take off. Freelance Rate Calculator fixes that in 30 seconds. Enter your target take-home income, your billable hours, your weeks off, and your monthly business expenses. The app instantly converts that into a rate you can quote with confidence — hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. 1. Hourly Rate Calculator — turn an annual income target into a precise hourly rate that covers all your real costs 2. Day Rate Calculator — get your day rate automatically alongside your hourly figure, no manual math 3. Reverse Check — know your hourly rate? Enter it and see the annual take-home it actually produces after expenses and tax buffer 4. Monthly Retainer Estimation — convert any rate into a predictable monthly retainer figure to propose to long-term clients 5.

This app does the thinking — it structures the inputs correctly (billable weeks, not calendar weeks; after-tax income, not gross revenue) so the rate you get is actually sustainable, not just a number that feels right.
