Formula and methodology
Formula: Required billable rate = (target income + annual overhead) / planned billable hours.
The rate is a transparent break-even planning figure before taxes, profit margin, unpaid collections, or contingency additions.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Target income — currency/year; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000
- Annual overhead — currency/year; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000
- Planned billable hours — hours/year; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 100000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Target income | 60000 |
| Annual overhead | 15000 |
| Planned billable hours | 1200 |
Required billable rate = 62.50 currency units per hour.
Assumptions and limits
- Income, overhead, and hours describe the same year and currency.
- Planned billable hours are positive and already account for nonbillable time.
- Taxes, benefits, profit margin, market rates, and client-specific terms are not inferred.
