❓ FAQ

How do I calculate hourly rate from salary?

Basic formula: Hourly Rate = Annual Salary / (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year). For example: $50,000 / (40 × 52) = $24.04. After accounting for vacation and taxes, the take-home hourly rate is lower.

How should freelancers price their hourly rate?

Freelancers should charge 30-50% more than equivalent full-time hourly rate to cover self-employment taxes, unpaid time off, equipment, and non-billable hours. With 60% billable time, a $50,000 target needs ~$40/hr.

How do monthly and annual salary convert?

Annual = Monthly × 12 (excluding bonuses). If you receive 13th-month pay or annual bonuses, add those separately. This calculator supports direct annual salary input for precise calculation.
