Required Hourly Rate vs Desired Annual Income
Formel
How to Calculate Your Hourly Rate
Account for business expenses by inflating your desired income, then divide by total annual billable hours.
Formula
Gross Needed = Desired Income / (1 - Expense % / 100)
Hourly Rate = Gross Needed / (Billable Hours/Week x Working Weeks)
Lösungsbeispiel
You want $80,000 take-home with 25% overhead, billing 30 hrs/week for 48 weeks.
- 01Gross needed = $80,000 / (1 - 0.25) = $106,667
- 02Total billable hours = 30 x 48 = 1,440
- 03Hourly rate = $106,667 / 1,440 = $74.07
- 04Monthly revenue target = $106,667 / 12 = $8,889
Häufig Gestellte Fragen
What counts as billable hours?
Billable hours are time directly spent on client work. Admin, marketing, learning, and other overhead are non-billable. Freelancers typically bill 60-70% of their working hours.
What expenses should I include in overhead?
Health insurance, self-employment tax (~15.3%), software, equipment, office space, accounting, professional development, and marketing costs.
How do freelance rates compare to salary?
Freelance rates should be 30-50% higher than an equivalent salaried hourly rate to cover benefits, taxes, non-billable time, and business expenses.
