Free hourly rate calculator
Start with your own annual costs and the hours you can actually bill. This planning estimate adds your target profit per hour and shows a charge-out rate before and after 10% GST.
All money is in AUD. Calculations stay in your browser; inputs are not sent anywhere or saved. Defaults are editable examples.
Enter annual wage or owner drawings, an annual superannuation allowance, and vehicle, insurance, tools, phone, software and other business costs. Use costs excluding recoverable GST where applicable; avoid counting an expense twice.
Multiply billable hours per week by working weeks per year. Allow for holidays, quoting, admin and travel you cannot bill. Total yearly cost divided by these hours is the break-even cost per billable hour.
Add your desired profit per hour to break-even for the ex-GST rate, then multiply by 1.10 for the GST-inclusive estimate. Materials and job-specific charges need separate allowances. This does not calculate income tax or super obligations.
Nenvik supports reusable quote templates and published quote PDFs. Use your reviewed rate when preparing a quote, then publish it for an online customer decision.
No. It is an estimate based on the figures you enter, not a survey of what other businesses charge. Review the result against your own work and costs.
Unbilled admin, quoting and downtime still need funding. Spreading costs over only the hours you can bill shows what those hours need to recover.
No. Enter your own annual dollar allowance. Check the appropriate amount for your situation with your accountant or the ATO.
The calculator runs in your browser. Its inputs are not sent anywhere or saved in browser storage. Reloading resets the figures.
