Project Pricing Calculator

Freelancing has become one of Pakistan's biggest export earners, and freelancers face specific money questions: what hourly rate covers your costs, what does a project actually pay after fees and tax, and how much should you quote? This Project Pricing Calculator answers one of those questions with clear numbers.

The calculation reflects how Pakistani freelancers actually work — quoting in dollars, receiving through Payoneer or Wise, converting to rupees, and paying the 0.25% final tax on export remittances or normal income tax depending on how income is routed.

One of the most common freelancer mistakes is quoting from the client's currency without converting honestly. This calculator keeps the math transparent so your rate covers the exchange rate, platform fees and taxes — not just the headline number.

Use it before every quote: know your effective hourly rate, the fee impact of each platform, and the tax treatment of your income. That knowledge is what separates profitable freelancers from busy ones.
