Planning estimate only. Your final price should also reflect scope, risk, expertise, demand and local tax obligations.How the calculation works
Required revenue = (target owner pay + annual business costs) ÷ (1 − profit reserve − payment fees). That revenue is divided by your realistic annual billable hours. The tool runs entirely in your browser and does not save or send your figures.
What the result does—and does not—tell you
The result is a commercial floor, not a universal market price. Adjust the final quote for project scope, uncertainty, specialist value, demand, revisions and client responsibilities. This calculator does not provide tax, legal or accounting advice.
