About

About this tool

Your standard rate is not what you earn. Revenue leaks at three points: hours you work but don't record or bill (utilisation), time written down on the invoice (realisation), and invoices that are never paid (collection).

Enter your hourly rate, hours available per year and the three rates. The calculator shows collected revenue, your effective rate per billed hour and per hour worked, and exactly how much each leak costs you a year.

Small gains compound: raising realisation and collection by 5 points each often adds more than a rate increase.
