Work backwards from the take-home income you want to a minimum hourly and day rate, then set aside the right amount for tax each month.
Made by Talreon.com, the same team behind the free salary and paycheck calculator.
Three tabs. Real formulas. Yellow inputs.
Change any yellow input and everything updates. Sample figures are included so you can see how it works straight away; overwrite them with your own.
1. Rate planner
Target take-home pay, business expenses, your own effective tax rate, savings, working weeks, billable share and a safety buffer → minimum hourly rate, day rate and monthly revenue target.
2. Project quote
Estimated hours plus contingency at your calculated rate, plus fixed project costs, gives a quote you can send.
3. Tax set-aside log
Twelve months of invoiced, paid and expense figures, with profit and the amount to set aside for tax calculated each month.
