FREE FREELANCE CALCULATOR

Freelance Revenue Goal Calculator

A take-home goal is only part of your revenue target. Business expenses and money you set aside also need to be funded.

Plan ahead

Annual revenue target

Work backwards from your take-home goal and business overhead.

Desired annual take-homeAnnual business expensesTax and savings reserve (%)

Estimated result$105,333.33

The reserve is your planning assumption, not a tax calculation.

How it works

Enter your own figures above. The result updates as you change the inputs.

Formula

(desired take-home pay + annual business expenses) ÷ (1 − reserve percentage)

Example

For $65,000 in take-home pay, $14,000 in expenses, and a 25% reserve, the estimated annual revenue target is $105,333.33.

Tips for using the result

Treat the reserve as a planning assumption, not a tax estimate.
Divide the annual result by your working months for a monthly sales target.
Recalculate when costs or savings priorities change.

Planning estimates only. This tool does not calculate taxes or provide financial advice. Amounts display in USD; use the same currency for every monetary input.
