I built a freelance rate calculator because I was tired of undercharging

Most freelance rate calculators are the same: take your salary, divide by 2,080 hours, done. That number is wrong and it's why so many of us undercharge. It ignores taxes (~30%), unpaid hours (admin, sales, invoicing), expenses (software, insurance, gear), vacation, and profit margin. When you actually account for all of that, your real rate is usually 40-60% higher than the naive calculation. So I built Freelance Calc — a free calculator that shows you what an hour of your time actually costs. What makes it different Loss Calculator — This is the feature that gets people. Enter your current rate and it shows you exactly how much you're leaving on the table annually. Seeing "$52,000/year in lost revenue" hits different than "you should charge more." 1,000+ job presets — Pre-filled market rates for specific roles (Agency Designer, Backend Developer, UX Researcher, etc.) across 4 experience levels. No more googling "what do freelance developers charge." Full breakdown — See exactly where
