How This Compares

Freelance Rate Calculator vs. Hourly Rate Calculator

This tool starts from a target monthly income and unbillable-time percentage to produce hourly and day rates. The Hourly Rate Calculator instead starts from a target annual income and a fixed billable-hours figure - use whichever matches how you already think about your workload.
