How this calculator works
Enter your target income, annual business costs, billable hours and working weeks. The tool spreads the required revenue across realistic billable time.
Formula
Required rate = (Income target + Business costs) ÷ Annual billable hours
When to use it
Use it to avoid simply converting a salary into an hourly rate without accounting for unpaid admin, sales and time off.
