The floor comes before the price
Your rate floor is the point below which the work costs you money. It is not what you should charge — it is what you cannot go under. Everything else is negotiation. The rate calculator finds it.
Most freelancers guess. You do not have to.
Find the rate you can actually afford to charge.
Your rate is not a feeling. It is your take-home pay, your business costs, your tax, and the hours you can genuinely bill — divided. These calculators do that division.

Freelance Rate Calculator
The hourly rate below which the work costs you money — calculated from what you need to take home, not from what feels reasonable.
Open calculator →Billable Hours Calculator
The hours you can genuinely invoice in a year — which is never the 2,080 a full-time salary is built on.
Open calculator →Salary to Freelance Rate Calculator
What your old salary is really worth as an hourly rate, once the things your employer quietly paid for are back on your side of the ledger.
Open calculator →Day Rate Calculator
Your hourly rate expressed as a day rate, a week, a month, and a year, so a quote and a plan use the same number.
Open calculator →Rate Increase Calculator
How much work you could afford to lose after raising your rates — usually far more than the fear suggests.
Open calculator →Project Quote Calculator
A fixed price built from your hours estimate — and an honest look at what that price becomes per hour when the job runs long.
Open calculator →Hourly Rate Conversion Chart
What every hourly rate is worth per day, week, month, and year — at billable hours a freelancer can actually reach.
The usual mistake
2,080 hours is not a real year
Dividing a salary by full-time hours is where most underpricing starts. Holiday, sick days, admin, pitching, and invoicing are unpaid, and they are most of the gap. The billable hours calculator shows what is left.

The maths runs in your browser
There is no account, no database, and no analytics on the numbers you enter. Income, costs, and client counts never leave the tab — the privacy policy spells out exactly what that means.

Every formula is on the page
Each calculator publishes the formula it uses and a worked example you can check by hand. Where a figure depends on an assumption — billable percentage, employer overhead — the assumption is an input you control, not a constant we picked.
