About

Freelance Rate Calculator UK is a free, no-signup tool designed to help UK freelancers and contractors calculate sustainable hourly, daily, and weekly rates based on their income goals, business expenses, and realistic billable hours.

Why This Tool Exists

Many freelancers undercharge by simply converting their old employee salary into an hourly rate, without accounting for business expenses, unpaid admin time, or time off. This calculator uses a transparent formula to show what you actually need to charge to hit your financial targets.

Privacy & Data

All calculations happen locally in your browser. The numbers you enter (salary, expenses, hours) are not sent to our servers or stored anywhere. We use Google Analytics to understand site usage (page views, traffic), which may collect information like IP address and device type. No email signup required, no hidden costs.
