Is Your Hourly Rate Sustainable?

As a small-business owner, deciding your hourly rates is one of the most important tasks that you face. You have to look at your business in a holistic manner, balancing costs with profit, and calculate a number that can satisfy both.

Determining your rate can be difficult, there is a fine line between setting rates that are too high or low. Pick a rate too high and you risk losing customers; pick a rate too low and you risk being unable to sustain your business. There are also a lot of expenses that new business owners don’t always think of: taxes, insurance and even vacation/sick days. In addition, you want to be able to make enough money so you can hit your income goals, live comfortably and have a good quality of life. Quite simply, there is a lot of math involved that you may not have realized. How do you figure out the perfect number?
