Hello Product Hunt community! 👋
As freelancers and side hustlers, we often ask ourselves: "Am I actually getting paid what I'm worth?"
Sometimes, a flat-rate project looks great on paper, but after endless revisions, your actual hourly rate drops below minimum wage. That’s why I created "How much per hour?" for Android.
It’s a dead-simple, privacy-focused tool that shows you your real hourly value in real time as you work.

does it handle taxes and overhead costs or is it just tracking the raw time versus rate math
Thank you so much for checking out Hourly Timer and for such a great question — I really appreciate you thinking it through!
To answer honestly: right now it's just raw time-versus-rate math. You enter your payout amount, the timer tracks your working time, and it divides one by the other — there's no built-in handling for taxes, software costs, equipment, or other overhead yet.
That said, I think you're onto something important — a way to factor in taxes or overhead so the app shows a more "real" take-home rate would make it a lot more useful for freelancers. I'm going to keep that in mind as a future improvement.
Thanks again for the kind attention and the sharp question — feedback like this genuinely helps shape where the app goes next!

Does it factor in time I spend on revisions or client calls that don't get billed separately, or only the timer sessions I actually start and stop?

@fahribryam5g4c Thank you so much for taking the time to try out Hourly Timer and for asking such a thoughtful question — I really appreciate it!
To answer directly: right now, the app only calculates your rate based on the timer sessions you actually start and stop. Any time spent on revisions, client calls, or other work that happens outside of an active timer session isn't factored into the calculation yet. So if you're doing unbilled work off the clock, your true effective rate would actually be a bit lower than what the app shows.
This is really useful feedback, though — a way to log that kind of untimed or unbilled work separately (so it can pull down the effective rate accurately) is a great idea for a future update. I'll definitely keep it in mind as I keep developing the app.
Thanks again for engaging with it so closely — questions like yours are exactly what help make it better!
