How the math works
- Annual
- hourly × paid hours per year
- Monthly
- annual ÷ 12
- Weekly
- annual ÷ 52
- Daily
- annual ÷ working days
Why 2,080 hours? It's 52 weeks × 40 hours — the standard full-time baseline. If you bill fewer hours (or take unpaid weeks off), lower the input to match your real schedule; the result updates live.
Common freelance benchmarks
- At 2,080 paid hours, $50/h ≈ $104,000/year before taxes.
- Targeting $80,000/year? At 1,800 billable hours you need ≈ $44.5/h.
- Raising your rate $10/h at 2,080 hours = $20,800/year more.
