Calculate an hourly rate: target profit, costs, hours
An hourly rate has to cover your income, your costs and the time you cannot bill. Work it out once here.
How it works
Enter what you want to earn per month, your monthly costs and how many hours you can really bill. The calculation divides the sum by the hours.
Important: billable hours are fewer than working hours. Acquisition, bookkeeping and training do not count. Taxes and provisions are not included in this simple result.
Frequently asked questions
Which number of hours should I enter?
Only the hours you can actually invoice. That is usually well below your working time.
Is the result my price?
It is a lower limit for orientation. Your market price depends on offer, demand and customers.
General orientation, not tax, legal or other advice. Ask the tax office or a professional for your case. No warranty. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent.
