Frequently asked questions
What hourly rate should a freelancer charge?
Work backwards from your target take-home pay. Add your business expenses and a tax buffer, then divide by the hours you can actually bill in a year (not 2,080 — usually far fewer). The Freelance Rate Calculator does this for you: enter your income goal, billable hours, expenses and tax rate and it returns the minimum hourly rate you should never price below.
How do I quote a freelance project instead of an hourly rate?
Estimate the hours the project needs, multiply by your true hourly rate, add any software or asset costs, then add a risk buffer for scope creep. The calculator turns your rate into a defensible project quote in seconds.
Does the Freelance Rate Calculator work in Google Sheets?
Yes — it works in Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel. Open or upload the file and start typing in the highlighted cells.
Is it a one-time purchase?
Yes, $14.99 one-time, no subscription. It's also included in the 7-tool bundle for $49.
