Sustainable Hourly Rate Calculator
Build a rate that supports your income, your practice and your real life — without pretending every hour you work is billable.
This free Sustainable Rate Calculator helps you bring together the parts of practice that are easy to overlook: time away, admin, professional costs, client capacity, future planning and the quiet work behind every paid session.
Protect your time
Build in holidays, illness, professional development, family needs and the space required to keep doing meaningful work well.
Count the real costs
Include supervision, insurance, room hire, software, accountancy, marketing and the many small costs that quietly add up.
Plan beyond survival
Make room for buffers, retirement, reinvestment and profit so your practice can grow without asking you to carry all the risk.
When you only price the hour in front of a client, the rest of your practice disappears.
This calculator gives those hours and costs a place in the plan.
Find the Rate Your Practice Actually Needs
Set aside 15–30 minutes to discover what you actually need to earn per client hour to support your income, time off, professional costs, marketing, savings and the real cost of running your private practice.
At the end, you'll get your Minimum Sustainable Rate and can download a detailed PDF containing your results and every answer you've entered — without sharing your information with us.

You can optionally share your results with the Sexperts Business Community and receive one practical email each month for the next year, packed with resources and know-how to help you understand your finances, manage your costs and build a more sustainable practice.
