How do I calculate my freelance rate in India?
Calculate your freelance rate by adding your desired annual income, monthly business expenses, and tax obligations, then dividing by your billable hours per month. Our calculator factors in taxes (10-30%), GST, platform fees (10-20%), and local cost of living adjustments for 15 Indian cities.
What's the difference between domestic and international rates?
International clients typically pay 2-3× more than domestic clients. For example, web developers charge ₹500-2,500/hr for Indian clients and ₹1,500-4,000/hr for international clients. This reflects purchasing power parity and global market rates.
Should I register for GST as a freelancer?
GST registration is mandatory if your annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh for special category states). Even below this threshold, voluntary registration can help you claim input tax credit and appear more professional to clients.
How do freelance rates vary across Indian cities?
Metro cities like Bangalore and Mumbai command 30-50% higher rates due to higher cost of living. Tech hubs have more demand for specialized skills. Tier-2 cities offer lower rates but also lower expenses, making net income comparable.
