What it comes to
Below this, you are working at a loss. 41 € / h
Your current rate matches your recommended rate almost exactly. You cover your costs and your margin, with no extra cushion.
The figure almost everyone underestimates
The share of non-billable time is the number most often wrong. Quotes written in the evening, trips between jobs, chasing payment, bookkeeping: that time is genuinely worked, it appears on no invoice, and it is paid for by the hours that do get billed.
Going from 20% to 30% non-billable time raises your break-even rate by more than 14%, at identical costs. That is often where the difference sits between a decent year and a wasted one. Time an ordinary week before filling this field: the real figure surprises people.
