If you work 3 days per week as a freelancer, your hourly rate needs to be higher to compensate for fewer billable hours. Use this calculator to estimate what you should charge.
Freelancers must account for taxes, downtime, and business expenses. A common rule is to increase your target salary by 30–50% to arrive at a sustainable freelance rate.
Working fewer days per week reduces your total billable hours, which means your hourly rate must increase to maintain your income level.
This is useful for comparing freelance rates, job offers, or understanding your effective hourly earnings.
