Hi Maynard I think you make some great points and add some nuance to some of the details glossed over in the calculator; which I think is quite a good calculator and nicely done.
Additionally one thing that should be in the calculator is that not all hours are billable. I always feel that I lose about 10%-15% of my income a year on average to unbillable hours and in my first year it was probably closer to 40%. I think that I was lucky at 40%, but YMMV as some are good at closing clients and some are miserable at it. Maynard would you say that 20% is probably a good average for lost billables during a year? Sorry I'm assuming you Freelance btw.
I think @razvanstatescu
you might want to consider adding some of the comments you get to web page, so those with dreams of making their millions freelancing in Bali have a little more depth. This isn't all a comment against your work, which I think is fabulous, but mostly a suggestion to help those who would see it and have stars in their eyes of how much money they will make. Just a thought as I think Maynard added some great context to the numbers your calculator produces.
