    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why is my freelance rate higher than a salary equivalent?

    Freelancers cover their own taxes, benefits, unpaid time, and non-billable hours, so the rate must exceed an equivalent salary.

    How many hours are actually billable?

    Often well under half of working hours are billable once admin, sales, and breaks are removed, which should be reflected in the rate.
