About FreelancePrice

What FreelancePrice is

FreelancePrice is a free suite of financial calculator tools built for US-based freelancers, independent contractors, consultants, and anyone navigating the 1099 economy. Every tool runs instantly in your browser — there is no account, no email address required, and no data ever leaves your device.

Why it exists

Most freelance financial tools either bury the calculation behind a wall of explanatory text, require a signup to see results, or give you a formula instead of an answer. FreelancePrice was built around a different philosophy: the number is the product. Each tool is designed to answer one specific financial question a freelancer actually faces — not to teach the formula, but to give the answer.

The tools

• 1099 vs W2 Take-Home — Compare contractor and employee take-home pay after all taxes and benefits.
• Freelance Hourly Rate — Calculate the minimum hourly rate to hit your income goal after taxes and expenses.
• Contract → Full-Time Equivalent — Find the W2 salary equivalent of any contract rate.
• Project Rate Calculator — Build a fixed-price quote from hours, rate, buffer, and margin.
• Break-Even Monthly Income — Find the minimum monthly gross income to cover all expenses and taxes.
• Freelance Premium Calculator — Calculate how much more you must charge as 1099 to match a W2 offer.

Free forever

FreelancePrice has no paid tier, no premium features, and no plans to add them. All tools are free, require no account, and will remain that way. There are no ads. The site does not track you or sell your data.

A note on accuracy

FreelancePrice tools produce estimates based on the inputs you provide. They are designed to help you make better financial decisions, not to replace advice from a licensed tax professional or financial advisor. Tax laws change; your personal situation may differ from the assumptions these tools make. Always verify important financial decisions with a qualified professional.
