Is the tax field my actual tax bill?
No. It is a simple percentage buffer on the subtotal to help you price with taxes in mind. It is not a tax calculation.

Quote freelance work with costs and profit in view
Subtotal starts as hourly rate × estimated hours, plus project expenses. That is the cost floor before buffers.
Tax and profit percentages apply to the subtotal, then discount reduces the recommended price. Effective hourly is recommended price ÷ hours.
If effective hourly falls below your base rate, expenses or discounts may be too high for the hours you estimated.
This is a pricing aid—not tax or accounting advice. Confirm real-world tax obligations with a qualified professional.
FAQ
What if estimated hours is zero?
Effective hourly shows $0.00 because the calculator will not divide by zero. Enter hours to see that metric.
How should I use profit margin?
Choose a margin that leaves room after expenses and unpaid admin time. Raise it if the effective hourly feels too low.
