// frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my consulting rate?
Divide your annual income target (after adjusting for taxes and expenses) by your realistic billable days per year. This calculator does that automatically.
How many days per year do consultants actually bill?
Most independent consultants bill between 150-200 days per year. The rest goes to sales, admin, gaps, and holidays. The calculator lets you set your own realistic number.
Should consultants charge daily or hourly?
Daily rates are standard for most consulting engagements. Use this calculator to find your hourly floor, then multiply by your typical day length to get a daily rate.
