How much should you charge per hour?
Start from your monthly take-home goal (what you need in USD), workdays, and truly billable hours.
Your numbers
Use a monthly salary target (what you want to transfer to personal) and the hours you can actually bill.
Result
Minimum rate to hit your target with those hours.
Hourly rate
$40.00
To invoice / month
$4,000.00
Billable hours / month
100
Tip: “billable hours” are not total waking hours. Subtract email, proposals, admin, and breaks.
The monthly salary target is the same idea Kreza uses: how much you want to move from work to personal.
