RATEFLOOR calculates your true floor rate — factoring in self-employment tax, downtime, and business overhead — without the guesswork of freelancer forums and Facebook groups.
Most price themselves by dividing a past salary by hours in a year — a formula that badly underprices the work, because it ignores self-employment tax, downtime between projects, and business overhead.
Target income, realistic billable-hour percentage, business overhead — plain questions, no jargon.
The number below which you're losing money — with a full breakdown of every line item.
See where your rate sits against your profession and region — then export a PDF quote for a client.
The basic calculation is always free. The paid tier is a one-time payment, not a monthly charge: pay once and keep using it for as long as it's relevant.
RATEFLOOR doesn't just spit out a number — it shows the full breakdown behind it, and compares it against a market benchmark for your specific profession and region instead of a single averaged figure.
