It's using 2014 data - but I assume things haven't changed that much.

I usually beat the average day rate figures... but not this one :-(
I'm not sure how accurate the results can be as it doesn't ask/use 'job title' to calculate rates.
- In my UK experience, they simply want someone who can do the job first time...
20 years ago there was no such thing as a Jr or Mwt 'Freelancer'nylon - You'll tell them you want £350 because thats what you think you are worth. They'll say we have 200/220/250nylon

I genuinely find these calculators BS.
They were paying £26 an hour 18 years ago...
I would argue they are still paying the same...
£200- £250
Everything seems to be going up except hourly rates/salaries...
Just my opinion...
I mean do you really know any designers earning £420 a day? Maybe Im just out of the loop these days?

I usually charge the same hourly rate that I have been charging for the past 6 years.
The only way to get a higher rate is to quote a job higher and higher.
Clients may pay $2000 for a 2 day job but they won't pay $100 an hour.
It's all in how you sell it.

Day rate is better for everyone.
