How the Freelance Rate Calc Works
Adds annual income goal and business expenses, then divides by billable hours (working weeks * hours/week). Shows the minimum rate to break even on your goal.
Goal $80,000, expenses $10,000, 48 working weeks, 30 billable hrs/week → rate = $90,000 / 1,440 = $62.50/hr.
