How freelancers should price their work
Charging too little is the single most common pricing mistake freelancers and independent contractors make. A freelance hourly rate isn't just your old salary divided by 2,080 hours — it has to cover business expenses, self-employment tax, insurance, and the weeks you don't bill at all. This freelance rate calculator does that math for you in real time, so your price reflects the real cost of running a one-person business, not a guess.
