About FreelanceTally

FreelanceTally makes free, focused money tools for freelancers and the self-employed — and explains the maths behind every one of them.

Why this exists

We've spent years freelancing and running one-person businesses, and the same problems came up again and again: not knowing what to charge, dreading invoicing, and getting blindsided at tax time. The tools that should help are usually locked behind sign-up walls, crammed with upsells, or so generic they don't fit how freelancers actually work. We wanted the opposite — a small set of genuinely useful calculators that give a clear answer, show their working, and never ask for your email.

How we build our tools

• Show the maths. Every tool has a written explanation of the exact formula, the assumptions it makes, and its limits. You should never have to trust a black box with your money.
• Run everything in your browser. Our calculators are 100% client-side. The numbers you type are never uploaded, logged, or sold. That's a deliberate design choice, not a marketing line.
• Cite real sources. Where a tool touches things like tax, we point to the official source rather than inventing rules, and we date our updates.
• Stay honest about limits. Our tools are estimates and planning aids, not professional advice. We say so clearly, every time.

Who's behind it

FreelanceTally is built and maintained by a small independent team of freelancers (we publish under the brand name rather than personal names). We're not a bank, an accounting firm, or a venture-backed startup — just practitioners building the tools we wished we'd had. If something is wrong or could be clearer, we want to know: get in touch.

How we keep it free

Running the site costs very little, and we cover it with unobtrusive advertising and, in time, with affiliate links to software we'd genuinely recommend. That never changes what a tool tells you. You can read the details on our Ad & Affiliate Disclosure page.
