How this calculation works
Hourly rate = annual gross income / (paid weeks × hours per week). Monthly equivalent = annual / 12. This assumes every working hour is paid and excludes business expenses, taxes and unpaid work. Use the freelancer calculator for billable-time planning.
Worked example
48,000 over 48 paid weeks at 40 hours per week requires 25 per hour.
