If you need more options to help you calculate your rate (e.g. expenses, taxes, savings), I'd recommend this awesome free tool that was made by a freelancer: http://freelance-calculator.arti...
Cool calculator. Does it account for social security / taxes? I mean the gross income of a freelancer should be always higher than the equivalent gross income for an employee , considering that when hired a company covers some costs. That’s the hard part to calculate and I wonder if your calculator covers that or not.
Hey there Product Hunters!
A few weeks ago I launched Lancerlist, a platform for finding freelancers in your city. One issue many freelancers have when they start out is they don't know what rate to set.
Setting your rate can be hard and while I recommend you do research into other freelancers rates in your city, another way can be to reverse engineer it from your desired annual income.
I've therefore built this calculator, it's meant to be a rough guide, not definitive and you can play with the parameters. Have fun!
Cool onboarding experience! You need to make your URL field smart enough to recognize URLs without the protocol, or simply auto-add it for users. That’s my biggest pet peeve with forms :)
Anyway, loving the minimalist design. Reminds me of Pioneer.
The rate calculator is great as well, I like it better than yourrate.co because it allows you to customize the percentage of non-billable time.

Great job! Pretty simple but effective. A couple of suggestions to make it more effective: It would be great if you can also add a filter of type of freelancing since the pricing does differ based on services. Secondly, is there a way to add to average/mean price for that service as well? If yes, then adding that can make it a go to thing for every freelancer. Just some suggestions. What do you think?
