Why use these tools

What makes these business calculators different

Price like an operator, not a guess

The freelance rate, true hourly rate, and rate sanity-check tools work backward from the income you actually need to take home — covering tax, benefits, unbilled hours, and overhead — so the number you quote isn't a wishful one.

Marketplace-aware fee math

Amazon FBA, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, and dropshipping calculators bake in the platform's actual fee schedule (referral, FBA, payment processing, ad spend) instead of treating revenue as profit.

Invoicing, payment terms, and cash flow

Invoice generator, late-fee, payment-terms, and cash-flow tools translate Net 30 vs Net 15 vs deposits into real days-of-runway, so you can choose terms that fit your float — not just industry defaults.

FAQ

People ask us about business calculators

How do I calculate my freelance hourly rate?

Start with the take-home you need, gross it up for self-employment tax, add benefits you'd otherwise get from an employer, divide by realistic billable hours per year (usually 1,000–1,400, not 2,080), then add overhead. The Freelance Rate and True Hourly Rate calculators below run all of that in one screen and show every assumption.

What's a good profit margin for a reseller or ecommerce store?

On Amazon FBA, healthy contribution margin after fees, COGS, and shipping is usually 25–35%; on eBay 20–30%; print-on-demand 15–25%. Use the Amazon FBA Profitability, eBay Fees, and Shopify Profit Margin tools to see where each dollar actually goes — most sellers underestimate referral fees and ad ACoS by 5–10 points.

How do I price a project so I don't lose money?

Estimate hours honestly (most freelancers undercount by 30%), apply your true hourly rate, add a buffer for revisions and scope creep, then compare against the Project Profitability and Scope Creep calculators on this page to stress-test the worst case before you send the proposal.

Are these business calculators really free?

Yes. Every tool on this page is free with no signup. We don't gate exports, we don't email you weekly, and your inputs stay in your browser unless you explicitly save them to your account.
