Freelancer Hourly Rate Calculator for Coaches and Consultants
Why Most Freelancers and Coaches Undercharge Their Hourly Rate
Pricing isn’t just about picking a number that “feels right.”
To build a sustainable business, you need to understand the full picture. Here’s what you must account for:
Taxes & VAT
Your income isn’t 100%. Taxes and VAT reduce what you take home.
Time Off & Admin
Not every hour is billable. Holidays and admin time add up.
Savings & Future
Pension and savings should be built into your rate.

Understanding Your Hourly Rate
Your rate includes everything most people forget — taxes, holidays, non-billable time, and savings. If it feels higher than expected, that’s a sign you’ve been undercharging.
Pro Tip

Packages or retainers should be priced above this baseline.
