营收可能掩盖了无利可图的自由职业客户。

自由职业者在评估客户时，常常只关注收入，但仅凭收入可能会产生误导。一个每月支付 2000 美元的客户看起来很不错，但当你用收入除以总工作时间时，情况可能就不一样了。
例如：<p>收入：2000 美元
工作时间：45 小时
客户特定支出：120 美元<p>这样算下来，实际时薪约为 41.77 美元。一旦你算上会议、沟通、修改和偶尔的工具成本，实际时薪可能比预期的要低得多。
两个支付相同金额的客户，根据他们所需的时间不同，可能会产生截然不同的结果。我制作了一个小型的免费计算器，可以让你输入收入、工作时间和支出，快速查看客户的实际时薪。这对于了解客户是否真正盈利非常有帮助。

Freelancers often think about revenue when evaluating clients, but revenue alone can be misleading. A client paying $2,000 per month can look like a great account until you divide that revenue by the total time spent working for them.
For example:<p>Revenue: $2,000
Time spent: 45 hours
Client-specific expenses: $120<p>That produces an effective hourly rate of about $41.77. Once you include meetings, communication, revisions, and occasional tool costs, the real hourly rate can be much lower than expected.
Two clients paying the exact same amount can produce very different outcomes depending on how much time they require. I built a small free calculator that lets you enter revenue, hours worked, and expenses to quickly see the effective hourly rate for a client. It’s surprisingly helpful for understanding whether a client is actually profitable.
