Freelance developer rate calculator
Start from what you want to earn and work back to the rate. The field that changes the answer most is the share of your hours a client actually pays for.
After tax and business costs.
Hardware, software, insurance, accountant, coworking.
On profit, all together. Ask your accountant for yours.
52 minus holidays, public holidays and sick days.
Sales, admin, invoicing and unpaid fixes are not billable. 50–70% is common.
A simplification on purpose: one percentage for tax and contributions, applied to profit. Real tax depends on your country, your legal form and your brackets, so use this to set a rate and your accountant to check it.
The last line is the case for tracking time. Calls, reviews and quick fixes that never reach the invoice are billable hours you gave away. Inlinr records the coding time on its own and lets you add the rest, then puts both on the invoice, see Inlinr for freelancers.
Bill the hours you actually worked
Free to start. Rates per project, manual entries for calls and meetings, and invoices on Pro.
