Freelance Rate & Profit Calculator

Four inputs, one honest number: your hourly rate.

Enter the income you want to take home, the weeks you actually work, the hours you can really bill, and your yearly business costs. The sheet returns your hourly rate, day rate, weekly and monthly revenue targets, and a rate card for discovery calls, half and full-day workshops and rush work.

Most freelancers set their rate by feel and find out in March that it does not cover the year. This replaces the guess with a trade-off you can see: fewer billable hours means a higher rate, and now you know by how much.

Works in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers. Formulas are live, so change an input and every number follows.
