Frequently Asked Questions
Add your desired net income and business expenses, divide by (1 minus your tax rate) to get gross income, then divide by your total billable hours per year. This calculator does it all automatically.
Most freelancers bill 5–7 hours per day. The rest goes to admin, marketing, learning, and breaks. We default to 6 hours, which is realistic for sustainable consulting work.
Daily or project rates are often preferred for consulting engagements. They reduce time-tracking overhead and align incentives around outcomes. Use your hourly rate as a baseline, then quote daily or project fees.
In most countries, freelancers should set aside 25–35% of gross income for taxes (income tax + self-employment tax). Consult a local accountant for your exact situation.
