What should you actually charge per session?

Most rate advice tells you what other trainers charge. This works backwards from your number instead: the income you actually want to take home, after tax and after what it costs you to run the business. No email required, and the answer updates as you type.

Why this isn't the same as "what's the going rate"

A market-rate benchmark tells you what's normal. It doesn't tell you whether normal is enough for you: your expenses, your tax position, how many weeks you actually train clients versus how many you're paid to be "available." Two trainers charging the identical $90/session can be on completely different financial footing once one of them has higher overheads or fewer bookable weeks.

This calculator solves the other direction. Start from the number that actually matters, what lands in your account after everything else is paid, and work out the rate that gets you there.
