HARTI TOOLS
Calculate. Compare. Decide.

FREELANCER

Freelancer Hourly Rate Calculator

Find the rate needed to reach your income goal.

YOUR FREELANCE NUMBERS

USD/year

The annual income you want to earn before adding business expenses.

USD/year

Software, equipment, insurance, accounting and other business costs.

hours

Only hours you realistically expect to invoice clients.

weeks

Leave room for vacation, holidays, illness and time away.

HOW IT WORKS

Build your rate from the numbers that matter

The calculator adds your annual income goal and business expenses, then divides the total by the number of hours you realistically expect to bill clients.

Annual revenue required Income goal + business expenses
Annual billable hours Billable hours/week × weeks worked/year
Hourly rate Annual revenue required ÷ annual billable hours

This is a planning calculation, not a tax calculation or a market-rate recommendation. Taxes, benefits, platform fees and project risk can require a higher rate.
