Frequently asked questions
Why billable hours, not total hours?
Freelancers typically bill only part of their week. Admin, sales, and learning time are unpaid, so the math uses billable hours.
Should I add a margin?
Yes. Add 10 to 20 percent for slow months, taxes, and scope creep.
Is it free?
Yes, free with no signup.
