FAQ
Short answers about the tools — then jump into a calculator or guide.
Are HourQuote calculators free?
Yes. Every calculator and guide on hourquote.com is free to use. There is no signup wall and no account required.
Is the suggested rate tax or legal advice?
No. Results are planning estimates only. Tax rules, contracts, and local regulations vary — talk to a qualified professional before making legal or tax decisions.
How should I pick my freelance hourly rate?
Start from the monthly income you need, count only realistic billable weeks and hours, then add a tax and overhead buffer. The freelance rate calculator walks through that math in your browser.
Hourly or fixed-price — which is better?
Hourly protects you when scope is fuzzy. Fixed-price works when deliverables are clear and you add contingency. Many freelancers use both depending on the project.
Do you store my calculator inputs?
No. Inputs stay in your browser. We use Google Analytics on the production site for aggregate traffic only — see the privacy policy.
Can I use a currency other than USD?
Yes. Use the currency selector in the header (USD, EUR, GBP, or TRY). Your choice is saved in your browser for the next visit.
