Hourly rate
Hourly rate calculator checklist
Plan a sustainable hourly rate by allowing for billable time, overheads, tax, super, leave, admin, and profit.
Inputs
Inputs to collect first
- Use current invoices, quotes, bank transactions, payroll records, software exports, or supplier pricing instead of rough memory.
- Separate one-off setup costs from recurring costs and split GST-inclusive amounts from GST-exclusive amounts where relevant.
- Record assumptions, date, source, and who checked the numbers so the hourly rate estimate can be reviewed later.
Review
Use the result as a planning prompt
- Treat the result as a working estimate, not financial, legal, tax, or insurance advice.
- Check the numbers with your accountant, bookkeeper, broker, lender, or adviser before making a binding decision.
- Save the inputs and compare them against the final invoice, lodgement, policy, or repayment schedule.
