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.
Hope that's helpful.
