Sourced benchmarks

Rates are built from public data — ONS, the BLS and contractor-rate trackers — and always shown dated, with the source.

A real methodology

We show the full working: income, unbilled time, overheads, pension, tax and margin — not a number pulled from thin air.

Anti-underpricing

The calculator flags your break-even and warns you when the market — or your own number — slips below what it costs to deliver.
