Hey Product Hunt! I'm Cappy, and I built this because I was tired of watching freelancers (including myself) undercharge. The problem: Every rate calculator I found was either: Too simple (just divides your desired salary by billable hours) Paywalled (wants $20/month for a calculator??) Wrong (guesses at taxes instead of calculating them) So freelancers guess. And guessing means leaving $15K-30K on the table every year. What's different here: Real tax math - I pulled tax brackets for all 50 states + DC and wired them in. Select your state, your business structure, your income - get the actual tax burden. Not "around 30%." The real number. Comprehensive expenses - 100+ preset expenses you might not think of. Software, insurance, equipment, marketing, professional development, home office. Check the boxes for what applies to you. Most people discover they're spending way more than they thought. S-Corp modeling - See the tax difference between sole-prop and S-Corp in real-time. For most freelancers clearing $60K+, S-Corp saves $5K-10K/year. Now you can see if it's worth it for you. Why it's free: Because pricing yourself correctly shouldn't cost money. Core features are free forever. If you want unlimited exports, it's $10 one-time (not $10/month - one time). Built with: Vanilla JS, all client-side, dark mode, mobile-first. No backend, no tracking beyond basic analytics. Try it and let me know: What state are you in? Did your real rate surprise you? What features would make this more useful? Appreciate any feedback. This is v2 - v1 was way simpler. Rebuilt it based on what freelancers actually asked for. --- Topics/Categories: Productivity Finance SaaS Web App Makers: @cappy2yappy
