Freelance hourly rate calculator
A planning estimate for an hourly rate that covers your goals, costs and the hours you can actually invoice.
An estimate, not a prescribed rate. The income-tax rate and working days are editable assumptions. Your effective tax position depends on your activity, deductible expenses and other income.

How to read the estimate
The minimum rate covers the selected net-income target, listed costs and the selected income-tax assumption. The recommended rate adds a 25% margin. It does not include VAT, which is separate from your professional rate on an invoice.
