Freelance Rate Calculator

Calculates sustainable freelance hourly and project rates from target annual income, billable hours assumption, overhead costs, and desired profit margin. Produces a complete rate calculation worksheet with formulas and pricing tiers.

Free and open source. macOS, Windows and Ubuntu.

Try it

Add the skill to a bot, then ask your Chief of Staff:

“Use the Freelance Rate Calculator skill on this: [describe the job, or paste your notes].”

Work backward from take-home income to gross revenue needed. The mechanics here are counterintuitive -- you must gross more than their target net income because taxes, expenses, and benefits all come out before they see their take-home.
