SoloRate works out the hourly rate you need instead of the one you hope for.
Type in the take-home pay you want for the year. The app adds your tax set-aside, business expenses, payout fees, currency-conversion loss, unpaid weeks off and a realistic utilization figure, then works backwards to two numbers: the floor you must never go under, and the hourly rate to quote.
FOUR WAYS TO PRICE
Per hour, per day, monthly retainer, fixed-price project. Each is its own calculation rather than the hourly rate multiplied out: the day-rate premium, the retainer discount and the fixed-bid risk premium each show up as a separate, adjustable line.
WHERE THE MONEY GOES
A breakdown bar splits every billed unit of currency into take-home, buffer, tax, expenses, platform fee and conversion loss. Change one assumption and watch the number move.
IS MY RATE NORMAL?
Hold your hourly rate against ballpark ranges for 9 disciplines, 3 experience levels and 8 regions — and share the verdict as an image.
TAX SET-ASIDE
Country presets for the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France and Italy. For the US: filing status, 16 major state presets plus a manual percentage for any other state, and mixed W-2 + 1099 income, so a day job pushes freelance earnings up the brackets instead of being ignored. The optional quarterly reminders use US estimated-tax deadlines.
WORK TIMER
Start and stop a timer as you work. Hours accumulate per day, with a recent-days log you can read back.
QUOTES AND PDF
Turn the hourly rate into a client quote: estimated hours, scope-creep buffer, project expenses, deposit percentage, plus your own payment link or bank details. Export a tidy PDF or share it as an image. Saved quotes are searchable and sortable and add up your total tax reserve.
HOME-SCREEN WIDGET
