About Freelance Fee Calculator
Setting the right price for your freelance work is crucial. This calculator helps you estimate the total fee for a project based on your hourly rate and estimated hours, plus any additional expenses.
How to Determine Your Hourly Rate
If you're new to freelancing, calculating your hourly rate can be tricky. Consider the following:
- Desired Annual Income: How much do you want to earn per year?
- Billable Hours: You won't be working 40 hours a week on client projects. You need to account for time spent on marketing, admin, and finding new clients. A common rule is to assume 50-60% of your time is billable.
- Overhead Costs: Don't forget to factor in the cost of software, equipment, insurance, and taxes.
Project-Based vs. Hourly
While this calculator uses an hourly rate, many freelancers prefer project-based pricing. This gives the client a clear upfront cost and rewards you for working efficiently. You can use this calculator to estimate your internal cost for a project before sending a quote.
