Hourly pricing calculator
Required hourly rate before GST from annual costs, target profit and billable hours.
How it works
Required hourly rate = (annual costs + target annual profit) / annual billable hours, rounded up to the next cent so the hours cover the total. Include owner remuneration in costs if it must be covered before profit. Exclude non-billable time from hours. The result is before GST.
