Take-Home Hourly Rate Calculator
Your takings turned into a real hourly wage, after rent, product, tax, ACC and every hour of admin.
- Your real hourly rate, before and after tax, across every hour you work and not only the ones with a client in the chair
- How that stacks up against an employed stylist once holiday pay, sick leave and KiwiSaver are counted
- How much more to charge, or how many more hours to book, to reach the income you're after
