FAQ

How do I calculate my consulting rate?

Consulting Rate = (Target Income + Expenses) / (1 - Tax Rate) / Billable Hours. This formula accounts for taxes and overhead so your net income meets your target.

What extra costs do freelancers have?

Freelancers cover social security (~15-20%), health insurance, retirement, office costs, software, continuing education, and client acquisition โ€” typically 30-50% more than an equivalent salary.

How many billable hours per year?

Full-time = ~2000 hours, but billable is 1000-1500 after subtracting vacation, sick days, training, marketing, admin, and proposal work.
