Typed example, same as the homepage: $95/hr × 7 hours = $665/day × 5 days = $3,325/week × 48 weeks = $159,600/year, or $13,300/month.

Updated Oct 2026

$665.00/day · $3,325.00/week · $13,300.00/month · $159,600.00/year

7 hours, 5 days, and 48 weeks are typed defaults on this page, not standards. Hourly equivalent $95.00.

One chain, either direction

Day = hourly × hours/day. Week = day × days/week. Year = week × weeks/year. Month = year ÷ 12. Reverse from any unit by turning the known rate into a year, then dividing back. A half day is on the day-rate guide. Weekend hours are a separate card.

Questions

How do I convert an hourly rate to a day rate?

Day rate = hourly rate × billable hours per day. The opening example is $95 × 7 = $665.

How many billable hours are in a freelance day?

Type the hours. This page opens at 7, the same figure as the homepage day example. It is not a standard.

How do I turn a day rate into an annual figure?

Year = day × days per week × weeks per year. The opening example is $665 × 5 × 48 = $159,600. That is not a salary. Compare it with a W-2 offer on the W-2 page.

How do I convert a monthly retainer to an hourly rate?

Pick month as the known unit. Hourly = year ÷ (weeks × days × hours), and year = month × 12. Retainer scope lives on the retainer page.

Should I quote hourly or daily?

This page does not recommend one. The day-rate guide and the on-site day page show the same hours a different way.
