Freelance rate converter
Enter any one rate — hourly, day, week, monthly retainer, or project price — and see the rest. Day rates beat hourly; retainers usually trade a 10–20% discount for predictable income.

| Annual (retainer × 12) | |
| Project ( days) |
Day rates protect you from scope creep on “just one more hour.” Retainers trade a discount for cash-flow stability — only offer one if the client commits to a minimum term and clear scope.

About this tool
Freelancers quote in different units depending on the client. This converter keeps them in sync from a single anchor value. Adjust billable hours per day to match how you actually work — six focused hours is more honest than eight clock hours with admin sprinkled in.
URL parameters save your numbers so you can share a scenario with a client or revisit a quote later.
