For freelancers and consultants who price by guesswork. Enter the income you want, your costs and the hours you can really bill to get an hourly, daily and monthly retainer rate.
Open a free ByteStore for 1:1 calls, courses and services, and keep the creator share of every sale.
You enter
Take-home Rs 12,00,000 a year, costs Rs 1,20,000, 10 percent for tax, 25 billable hours a week, 46 weeks
The tool shows
Rs 1,264 an hour and Rs 10,110 a day; a 1-hour ByteStore call priced at about Rs 1,620 keeps that rate at your 78 percent share
Add the take-home you want, the tax you will owe and your business costs, then divide by the hours you can really bill in a year, not the hours you work.
Most freelancers bill 20 to 30 hours a week. The rest goes on finding clients, admin and learning, so do not plan on 40 billable hours.
You keep 78 percent of a ByteStore call or service price before GST, so the calculator shows the list price that still pays your hourly rate.
