About Freelance Rate Calculator

Minimum day rate = (desired net + expenses) ÷ (1 − tax rate) ÷ billable days. Common mistakes: underestimating non-billable time (admin, prospecting, training), forgetting self-employment taxes and social charges, and not accounting for sick days and holidays. A good rule of thumb: freelance day rate ≥ 2× your equivalent salaried daily rate.
