GOOD QUESTIONS
A little more clarity.
How is my freelance hourly rate calculated?
Annual revenue = desired take-home ÷ (1 − effective tax rate) + 12 × monthly business expenses. Divide that revenue by billable weeks × billable hours per week. The day rate assumes eight billable hours.
Does this calculate taxes for my country?
No. You choose an estimated effective tax rate on profit after business expenses. This simplified model assumes expenses are deductible. It excludes progressive brackets, VAT/GST, sales tax, social contributions not in your chosen rate, payment fees, and local deductions. Confirm your rate and obligations with a qualified local professional.
Can I use a different currency?
Yes. Choose your working currency. All calculator amounts use that currency without exchange-rate conversion. The optional report is always priced at US$9; checkout shows any applicable sales tax.
What do I get for US$9?
A personalized monthly breakdown, an eight-hour-day project pricing and invoice template, and a downloadable PDF summary. It is a one-time purchase with access in this browser, without an account. Stripe may request an email for payment receipts; there is no email login.
