Freelance Pricing FAQ

Should I charge by the hour or by the project?

While this calculator provides an hourly baseline, many experts recommend "Value-Based Pricing" for complex projects. However, always know your hourly floor to ensure you never work for a loss.

How do I handle taxes?

Always set aside your tax percentage in a separate bank account immediately. This calculator includes a tax buffer to help you estimate your true gross requirements.

What is a billable hour?

A billable hour is time spent directly on client work. Most freelancers find that even in a 40-hour week, only 25-30 hours are actually billable.
