About ChargeWhat.app
Freelance Hourly Rate Calculator determines the minimum billable rate required to cover costs and reach income goals. It automatically accounts for the 15.3% self-employment tax, specific US state income taxes for all 50 states, health insurance premiums, and operating expenses. By inputting your desired annual take-home pay and estimated billable hours, the tool provides a baseline profit buffer without requiring a signup.

SE tax is 15.3% on top of income tax — and most rate calculators ignore it. ChargeWhat.app works backwards from your take-home to give you the real minimum rate. Free, no signup.
