Questions

What is a good utilization rate?

For freelancers and agencies, billable utilization often lands somewhere around 60% to 80% of available hours, because a real chunk of time goes to admin, sales, marketing, and unpaid work. Chasing 100% is neither realistic nor healthy — you need non-billable time to run and grow the business. The useful goal is to understand your utilization and improve it deliberately, not to maximise it at all costs.

How does utilization affect my pricing?

Directly. If only part of your available hours are billable, your hourly rate has to cover the non-billable time too — the admin, sales, and downtime. A common mistake is setting a rate as if you bill full-time, then earning far less because utilization is 60%. Knowing your utilization lets you set a rate that supports your target income across the hours you actually bill. The tracker makes that relationship visible.
