What is ChargeWhat?

ChargeWhat is a financial calculator built for freelancers who need to know the minimum hourly rate to charge in order to hit a specific take-home pay goal. Instead of guessing at a rate and hoping it covers everything, ChargeWhat works backwards from the income a freelancer wants to keep, factoring in taxes, health insurance, and business expenses along the way.

What ChargeWhat does

  • Calculates a minimum hourly rate based on a target take-home pay
  • Accounts for taxes when determining the required rate
  • Factors in health insurance costs
  • Includes business expenses in the rate calculation
  • Shows transparent calculations so freelancers can see how the final rate was derived

Who uses ChargeWhat

ChargeWhat is aimed at freelancers and independent contractors who need to set hourly rates but are unsure how to account for the full cost of running their business, including taxes, insurance, and overhead. It is useful for anyone pricing their own time who wants a rate grounded in actual take-home pay needs rather than a rough estimate.

For freelancers building a pricing strategy, ChargeWhat serves as a starting point: enter a target income and expenses, and get a minimum rate to work from when quoting clients or setting up service packages.
