Pourquoi Votre Tarif Doit Être Plus Élevé

Si vous gagniez 30 $/h en tant que salarié, votre tarif freelance minimum devrait être 50-65 $. La différence couvre : cotisations sociales (15,3%), assurance santé, congés non payés, temps non facturable (30-40%), et équipement. La règle : tarif freelance = 1,5-2× votre tarif salarié équivalent.

Calcul Précis

(Revenu souhaité + impôts + assurance + frais) ÷ heures facturables = tarif minimum. Si vous voulez l'équivalent de 75 000 $ : ajoutez 11 475 $ de cotisations, 6 000 $ d'assurance, 5 000 $ de frais = 97 475 $ ÷ 1 200 heures facturables = 81 $/h minimum.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The Freelancers Union found that the average freelancer spends 33% of their work time on non-billable activities: invoicing, marketing, proposals, admin, and professional development. This is why utilization rate matters more than hourly rate.
