How this hourly rate calculator works

It works back from the income you need to the rate you must bill, accounting for the hours you can't bill.

  • Billable hours/year = working weeks × hours per week × billable %.
  • Break-even rate = (target income + business expenses) ÷ billable hours.
  • Recommended rate = break-even plus a 20% buffer for taxes, slow periods, and profit.

Raising your billable percentage or trimming expenses lowers the rate you need.
