Back into hourly and day rates from take-home, tax, overhead, and utilization.
A freelance rate calculator backs into hourly and day rates from desired take-home, tax, benefits load, overhead, and utilization.

Enter desired annual take-home and tax, then benefits, overhead, utilization, and hours. Read hourly rate, day rate, and billable hours per year.
