RateSlate turns a single day rate into every number a freelancer or contractor actually needs — hourly, weekly, monthly, and annual — updating instantly as you edit any one of them. It's built for consultants, contractors, and freelance professionals tired of web calculators that assume every day of the year is billable. Set your real working-year assumptions — holidays, sick days, admin time, hours per day — and RateSlate recalculates your true day rate instantly, plus how much of it survives after your own tax and overhead buffer. When a new project lands, use the built-in quote calculator to turn a day count into a client-ready total in seconds, then copy it straight to your clipboard. — WHAT MAKES RATESLATE DIFFERENT — • Live day / hourly / weekly / monthly / annual conversion, updating as you type • Realistic working-year assumptions (holidays, sick days, admin days) • Tax & overhead buffer to see real take-home per day • Instant project quotes with one-tap copy • Multi-currency display • Fully offline — nothing ever leaves your device — PRICING — RateSlate is free, with rate conversion, working-year assumptions, and quotes included. RateSlate Pro is a single one-time purchase — no subscriptions, no accounts — that adds unlimited saved rate profiles and unlimited saved quote history. — FEEDBACK — Made by a small indie team. Email obeliskclubclub@gmail.com with feedback, bug reports, or feature requests.

Founder quote

“RateSlate is built around one principle: your data stays on your device. We don't want it, we don't store it, and we don't need it to make the app work. Everything that can run locally, does.”
— Peter Zhang, solo developer, Obelisk Club
