Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set my consulting rate?
Target income ÷ realistic billable hours (usually 50–60% of working hours after sales and admin), grossed up for overhead and self-employment taxes. A $120k goal at 20 billable hours/week needs roughly $140–160/hour.
What is the salary-to-consulting-rate conversion?
A common heuristic: divide desired salary by 1,000 for an hourly floor ($100k → $100/hour minimum). It roughly accounts for unbillable time, benefits, and taxes you now cover yourself.
Hourly, day rate, or project pricing?
Hourly caps your income at hours worked; day rates reduce metering anxiety; fixed project or value pricing rewards efficiency and expertise. Most consultants migrate from hourly toward project/value as they specialize.
