How This Calculator Works

By entering information into each field, you can calculate an hourly rate based on your costs, number of billable hours, and desired annual profit.
Section One asks about your desired lifestyle. This includes how much profit you would like to make annually, how many hours a day you will be working, and how many days a week will be on your schedule.
Section Two asks about your daily and monthly personal expenses. This includes rent/mortgage, and occasional expenses.
Section Three asks about your monthly business and logistical expenses. This includes office rental fees, software subscriptions and communication costs.
Based on this information, you will be given your minimum necessary hourly rate, and total annual salary. Try it out, and see what it will take to live the lifestyle of your dreams!
