What it does

  • Set your yearly take-home pay, your own tax set-aside estimate and your business costs (monthly or yearly)
  • Get your hourly rate: what you charge (gross) and what you keep per billable hour (net), plus a day rate and a breakdown of every hour
  • Quote a project: tasks times hours, expenses, optional sales tax or VAT and a deposit, with net and gross price
  • Compare workload scenarios: the rate a quiet or a busy year needs
  • Make a client proposal: print it, save it as PDF from the print window, or copy it as text
  • Back up and restore your numbers (JSON file), download and import lists as CSV
  • 35 currency symbols (symbol only, no conversion) and 6 looks, light and dark

Good to know

  • This is a digital download. Nothing is shipped.
  • No subscription and no account. The app runs on your device and uploads nothing.
  • Tax and VAT figures are your own assumptions. RateWise is a planning calculator, not tax, legal or financial advice.
  • English only. Your numbers do not sync between devices; move them with the backup file.
  • For your own work. Please don't resell or share the files.
  • The app, its logo and the texts were made as code with the help of an AI coding assistant. No AI image generators were used.
