Formula and assumptions
Annual budget = (monthly owner pay + monthly overhead + monthly reserve) × 12. Annual billable hours = working weeks × working hours per week × billable percentage. Base rate = annual budget ÷ annual billable hours.
No income tax calculation or currency conversion. Currency selection changes the label only. This tool does not use market-rate data or guarantee income.
