Häufig gestellte Fragen

How do I calculate my freelance hourly rate?

Add up annual expenses + desired salary + taxes + profit margin. Divide by billable hours (typically 1,000-1,500/year, not 2,080). Most freelancers undercharge by 30-50%.

How much should freelancers save for taxes?

Set aside 25-30% of gross income for taxes (self-employment tax alone is 15.3% in the US). Open a separate savings account and transfer immediately when paid.
