ProfitMetricLabHow it works
(Income target + expenses) ÷ billable hours
An $80,000 target and $12,000 expenses over 1,000 billable hours require $92/hour.
What the result means
Use billable hours, not every working hour. Sales calls, learning and administration reduce capacity. Personal taxes, unpaid leave and contingency need their own allowance in your target.

Common questions
Are my inputs saved?
We do not store or submit form inputs. Reloading restores the example values.
Is the result exact?
The display rounds to at most two decimal places; intermediate values retain their precision. Assumptions may differ from your actual situation.
