Formula

annual = day rate × days per week × weeks per year

How the calculation works

A day rate only becomes an income once you decide how many days a year are actually worked. Fifty-two weeks is the nominal figure; 46 to 48 is what a contractor with holidays and quiet periods really bills.

That choice is the whole calculation. At 150 a day the nominal year is 39,000 and the realistic one is nearer 34,500 -- a difference of a month's income, which is exactly the gap that makes a rate look generous and then disappoint.

Common mistakes

Quoting the fifty-two-week figure as annual income. It is a ceiling, not a forecast, and it makes a rate look better than the work will deliver.
Comparing a day rate with a salaried job without counting paid holiday, sick leave and pension, all of which the salaried figure already contains.

When to use it

Use it when a contract quotes a day rate and you need to put it beside a monthly salary to see which is really better.
It is also the tool for setting a rate: work backwards from the annual income you need and see what day rate delivers it.

Worked example

Common questions

Why change the weeks per year?

A freelancer or contractor is not paid for holidays or idle weeks. Fifty-two weeks flatters the figure; 46-48 shows what the year really holds.

Why divide the year by twelve?

Dividing the year by twelve expresses the income as a steady monthly figure so it can be set against monthly costs. Real months will vary.
