Salary to freelance rate calculator

Convert an employee salary into the freelance day rate that leaves you no worse off.

  • •Answering “what would you charge?” with a number
  • •Comparing a job offer with your current rate

نصائح احترافية

  • The uplift is usually 40 to 80 percent. A rate equal to your old salary divided by 220 is a pay cut.
  • Paid holiday disappears. That alone is about 10 percent of the year.
