❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Billable Utilization Rate?
Your billable utilization rate represents the percentage of working time spent directly on paid client work versus unpaid admin, sales, marketing, and invoicing tasks. Most freelancers average between 50% and 70%.
Why is my required hourly rate higher than an employee salary?
As a freelancer, you must personally cover health insurance, taxes, software tools, unpaid vacation days, and client acquisition time that employers normally subsidize.
Is my financial data saved or transmitted?
No. All calculations run 100% locally in your web browser. No personal income details or figures leave your device.
