Thanks for the feedback. I thought it would be easier for users to simply slide a scale rather than manually input numbers (which I feel is error prone and more work), especially on a mobile device.
In the next iteration I'm considering allowing users to use either option, sliding scale or direct input.
Thanks for the feedback warrenm. Heuristics can be useful, but I built this calculator to help freelancers account for opportunity costs and unexpected expenses in their rates. For example, someone who makes a $100,000 salary would charge 100,000/2080 = $48/hour by the measure you described. However, I don't believe that rate accounts for PTO, National Holidays, Health Insurance, Business Development time, self-employment taxes and many other things. A more realistic equivalency in my experience (and according to the calculator) would be $100-$125/hour.

My first MOOC was also David Malan's CS50x on edX; what an incredible teacher! He brings such a unique enthusiasm and joy to the study of Computer Science. In case you're reading this, thank you Professor Malan!
Back-end focused, full-stack capable. 2+ years of experience, mostly at startups in San Francisco (including YC companies). I particularly enjoy building APIs, data pipelines and Machine Learning systems, mostly in Python.

Hello fellow HNer.
I have two years of production experience building Web Apps and Machine Learning systems. I also spent three years as a Data Analyst. My goal is to solve problems and create value for my clients.
I've been freelancing for the past year, but now I'm looking for a full-time role. I spent the past few months building a Machine Learning user classification system for a startup.
Web Developer + Machine Learner (1+ years Rails, 1+ years Machine Learning) freelancing while I build my own company.
If you need work done on a Rails app (from MVPs to legacy apps), you need to build a predictive algorithm or you need to crawl/scrape data, contact me.
Web Developer (Rails) freelancing while I build my startup. In a past life I spent three years as a Data Analyst at PricewaterhouseCoopers. I also play around with Machine Learning in my spare time.
I'm open to contract work at a big company, but I particularly enjoy helping startups and founders get their products off the ground. I'm currently working on that problem myself, so I'd like to think I know the pain points and best practices.
Software Developer specializing in Web and Data Engineering, freelancing while I build my startup. I spent three years as a Data Analyst, then quit and taught myself to code. I've only been freelancing for six months, so I'm willing to work at a discount while I build up my portfolio. I'm also open to bartering.
Production experience: Everything associated with large Rails projects, web crawling, data pipelines, APIs, data analysis, product management
Side projects: I've built some apps in Node (Express, Meteor), and I compete in Kaggle Data Science competitions when I have time (http://www.kaggle.com/users/30845/dpmehta02). I am particularly interested in NLP.
