Plan a rate from an income goal, business costs and billable hours.

Your choices

Numbers shown initially are examples. Replace them with your own figures. Inputs are processed for this response and are not stored by this tool.

How it works

Rate = (income goal + business costs) ÷ working weeks ÷ billable hours. Billable time is usually less than total working time. Add suitable allowances for leave, insurance, tax and unpaid administration to your own plan.

Example and practical tip

72,000 across 46 weeks and 25 billable hours per week is 62.61 per hour.
