Frequently asked questions

Does it include taxes or currency conversion?
No. The tool never automatically applies taxes, currencies, or country-specific rates; it only uses the numbers you enter.
What if I enter 0 billable hours?
The tool doesn't calculate a rate with 0 billable hours, since that would mean dividing by zero; it clearly tells you so.
