True Charge-Out Rate Calculator
Businesses can undercharge because they forget overheads and unbillable time. This works out the honest minimum.
Typical full-time = 1400 after leave & downtime.
Rule of thumb: if your true rate is well above what you're currently charging, either raise prices, reduce overheads, or sell more billable hours.
Enter the hourly pay rate, employment on-costs, annual overheads and realistic billable hours, then choose your target profit margin. Use matching overhead and billable-hour figures for the person or team you are costing.
The result is an indicative hourly charge excluding GST that covers those costs and your target margin. Compare it with your current rate, and revisit the inputs when wages, overheads or billable hours change.
