Simple rate conversion — no tax or expenses. For what to charge after tax, use the freelance hourly or consulting rate calculators.

How this is calculated

Day rate = hourly × billable hours per day. Weekly assumes five billable days; monthly and annual spread your chosen billable days across the year. Adjust days down if admin time eats your calendar — most freelancers bill fewer than 250 days.

This is gross math only. For rates that cover tax and expenses, use the freelance hourly or consulting calculators.

Formula
Day rate = hourly × hours per day

Common questions

Eight is the default for quoting, but six billable hours on a client site is common once travel and email are included. Match what you actually sell.
220 is a reasonable default (roughly 44 weeks × 5 days). Heavy vacation or slow pipelines? Try 180–200.
Days simplify scope for consulting; hours protect you when scope creeps. Know your day rate either way — it's the number clients mentally compare.
No — gross conversion only. A $800/day rate is not $800 take-home.
