Carpenter hourly rate calculator

Fixing, hanging doors, and a deck all burn time that is not swinging a hammer. Put the income you want on one line, the yearly cost of tools, insurance, and the ute on the next, and keep the unbilled share honest.

The starting figures are blanks for you to replace. This is not a rate card.

Example starting point. Change every figure. This is not a rate card, and it does not calculate tax or super.

1,224 billable hours a year. Costs are $10.62 of each of those hours.

$88.26 an hour

(Income + costs) ÷ billable hours. A day rate is this figure times the hours you call a day.

Billable hours are weeks times hours a week times the share you can charge for. The rate is income plus costs, divided by those hours. Change the blanks before you treat the figure as yours. Not a rate card.

Short answers

Does this include tax or super?

No. It splits the income you type, plus the costs you type, across the hours you can bill. Income tax and super are separate. This is not tax advice and not a rate card.

Why are billable hours less than the hours I work?

Quoting, driving, picking up parts, and admin are often unpaid. The share you can bill is the part a client is actually charged for.
