Understanding Freelance Hourly Rates
Unlike standard full-time jobs, freelancers must factor in unbillable time (admin, marketing), self-employment taxes, and business overheads (software, equipment, insurance).
Pricing Rule: Your gross revenue target must be significantly higher than your desired “take-home” salary. A common mistake is dividing a standard $60k salary by 2,080 standard work hours—this severely underprices freelance work because it ignores taxes, expenses, and non-billable administrative hours.
