Questions
Why not just double what an employee earns?
Your rate pays your holidays, costs and unbooked hours too, so it works from the hours that get paid.
Why do I type my own tax share?
It differs from place to place. Last year’s tax over last year’s profit is a good start.
What about sales tax?
Type its name and rate, and clients see the price with and without it. Check the rule where you work.
Where are my figures kept?
Only where you choose: nowhere, on this device, or in your free account.
How sure is the number?
As good as the tax share you type, rounded up. Guidance, not tax advice.
