How it works

Convert hourly rate to day rate and estimate total cost for days of work.

Method: Day rate = hourly rate × hours per day. Total = day rate × days.

Worked example

£35/hour for 7.5 hours is £262.50 per day. For 3 days, total is £787.50.

Common mistakes
  • Forgetting unpaid admin or travel time.
  • Comparing day rates with different day lengths.
  • Ignoring VAT, tax or expenses.
