A simple, free web app for calculating freelance web developer/designer rates

I just overhauled my simple, free web app for calculating freelance web developer/designer rates. I've put it on Github, here:

What's My Rate

I'd be grateful for any feedback, especially suggestions for improvement. I used it as a learning project to incorporate my HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery and Bootstrap skills.

Many thanks to Treehouse for helping me learn how to create this! I couldn't have done it without you.

Hey James!

I just took a look and it is working great. I tested out a few different values for each input and everything seems to be working perfectly.

One thing I really liked though is the aesthetics and how everything is laid out, it looks very nice. I'm sure this will turn out to be useful for a lot of people!

Have a great day!

For what it is worth, I didn't experience any issues using Windows 8 and Firefox 33.0.2 or Chrome 38.0.2125.111 m.

Keep up the great work.

Works great in Chrome but I'm having a problem with it in Firefox. The target salary box isn't working correctly for me. I'm not sure if it's not accepting the values I'm entering or the form input (most likely) isn't showing the figures as I'm typing them. In my firefox window the box is jumping onto the same line as the overhead text and is appearing very small.

Other than that, great work!

Thanks Tony, I appreciate the testing. I'll take a look at Firefox. Are you on OS X or Windows, by the way?
