Free hourly rate calculator for freelancers

Charging $65 an hour doesn't mean you keep $65 an hour. Emails, proposals, unpaid revisions, software, fees, and tax all come out of it. This free spreadsheet spreads your take-home across every hour you actually worked, billed or not, and shows your true hourly rate.

Then enter the rate you want to take home. It works out what you'd need to charge per billed hour to get there.

Works in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Apple Numbers. Example numbers are filled in so you can see how it works.
