Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set my freelance rate as a beginner?
Start with your desired annual income, divide by billable hours, then add 25-30% for taxes and 15-20% profit margin. Our calculator does this automatically.
Should I charge hourly or per project?
Hourly is safer when scope is unclear. Per-project works better when you are experienced and can estimate time accurately.
How many billable hours should I count per year?
Realistically, only 60-70% of your working time is billable. The rest goes to admin, marketing and learning. Factor this into your rate.
Why add a profit margin?
The profit margin covers business expenses, equipment, software, insurance, slow periods, and business growth. Always include it.
