What this site is
BillMyRate is a free, single-purpose web tool: a freelance hourly rate calculator. You enter your income goal, business expenses, billable hours, and weeks off; the calculator returns the minimum hourly rate you'd need to charge to cover all of it. There is no signup. No fields are sent to a server. There are no ads on the page today.
Alongside the calculator we publish written guides on rate-setting, self-employment tax, and the unglamorous business side of freelancing. The guides are written by hand from real experience and public IRS, BLS, and Department of Labor data — not paraphrased from a chatbot.
Why I built it
In a freelance career, I lost a lot of money to a single mistake — quoting hourly rates without first knowing what my own minimum was. The 15.3% self-employment tax bite caught me off-guard one January and changed how I thought about pricing forever after. The calculator is the tool I wish I'd had: a way to plug in real numbers and see, in seconds, what I had to charge to make the math work.
Response time
I aim to reply to email within two business days. Bug reports with a screenshot or a description of which browser you're using get fastest turnaround, because they're easiest to fix. If you don't hear back in a week, please send a follow-up — sometimes mail gets filtered.
Press & partnerships
If you're writing about freelance pricing, self-employment tax, or independent-worker tooling and want a quote, an interview, or permission to embed the calculator, the same email above works. I'll happily provide source citations for any number on the site and credit anyone who points out a mistake.
Guides are written from primary sources — IRS publications, BLS data, and SSA tables — and updated when the underlying data changes. See the editorial standards page for our full sourcing policy, update schedule, and correction process.
