How to Price Your Freelance Work Right (Without Losing Clients)
Pricing freelance work is hard. Charge too much, you lose clients. Charge too little, you work too much. This freelance pricing calculator helps you find the sweet spot.
Why Hourly Rates Matter
Many freelancers in India just guess their hourly billing rate. Bad idea! Our freelance hourly rate calculator shows what you really need to earn.
Here's what most forget:
- You don't work 8 billable hours every day
- Taxes take 20-30% (use our freelance calculator tax feature)
- Vacations and sick days happen
Freelance Rate vs Salary
A ₹10 lakh salary isn't the same as ₹10 lakh freelance income. As a freelancer, you pay for:
- Your own computer and software
- Health insurance
- Office space (even if it's your home)
- Unpaid time finding clients
Our tool adds all these costs. Try different numbers in the freelance pricing calculator India freelancers love. See how changing your work days or billable hours changes your rates.
Simple Pricing Tip
Calculate your rate with our hourly billing rate calculator. Then add 20% more. Why? Because you're worth it, and clients will still pay.
Remember: Good clients care about value, not just price. Our calculator helps you know your minimums so you can charge what you deserve.
