Freepaycalc, A Free Freelancer's Friend

Built by a freelance maker, for makers. Stop guessing and protect your margins.
👋 Hey Product Hunt! Freepaycalc maker here.
David Lasoff, my partner and I built Freepaycalc out of sheer frustration. As independent builders, we spend so much time focusing on our craft, only to get stung at the finish line by payment processors quietly skimming our margins, or cross-border exchange rates eating our cash before we even see it.
I wanted a clean, free space where freelancers can see their true net take-home pay instantly—before sending an invoice (so you can add these charges into your bill). And because we all deal with scope creep, I threw in the Client Friction Multiplier to help mathematically price high-maintenance accounts without having to get into emotional negotiations.
In all there are 10 separate calculators dealing with most of the major payment problems and some of the workflow issues faced by freelancers. There are buttons to click for each of these under the Take Home Pay Calculator. Check them all out when you have the time.
Freepaycalc is 100% free to use all of the calculators and to read all of the articles included. We built this site to protect your hard-earned margins and then some. As I said, there's a small but very helpful library of articles on the Net Take Home Pay Calculator page dealing with subjects every freelancer will appreciate ; each of 24 of these quick reads take between 4 and 9 minutes to digest. They're not meant to be super deep but they get you oriented with good ideas to help you solve your freelancing problems and not just with payments but workflow too.
I’ll be online all day for the marathon—drop a comment or ask me a question. The site is operational but we are still hooking up some back end features. If you run into a bug, please let me know or if you have an especially harrowing scope creep episode with a difficult client and need to vent, feel free! Looking forward to meeting other freelancers and makers to talk about Freepaycalc with you, today! And one last thing, please share this absolutely free resource with another freelancer who might really appreciate having this kind of a useful tool at their disposal. Thanks for coming by! 🚀
