Enter what you want to earn and your overheads. We'll show the day rate you need to charge to hit it.
Rates are ex VAT. Effective tax + NI is a rough blend — a sole trader on £35k take-home typically sits around 20–25%.
Most UK sole trades bill 200–220 days a year after holidays, bank holidays, sick days, quoting and admin. Full-time on one site is closer to 230.
No. Day rates are quoted excluding VAT. If you're VAT registered, add 20% on top of the day rate on your invoices.
