Billable is not the day
A full day is rarely all billable: there is admin, travel and chasing. The number to use is the hours you can charge for.
The weeks off are real
Holiday, bank holidays, illness and quiet spells all come out of the year. Employed people are paid through them. You are not.
A year from a day rate
The yearly figure is a ceiling, not a forecast. It shows what the rate gives if every available day is booked.
Keep the number for every month

Questions
Should I charge a day rate?
Often yes for longer jobs: clients like a fixed number. Keep the hourly figure in your head so a long day is not a cheap one.
Does the yearly figure include tax?
No. It is before costs and tax. Try the take-home estimate for a rough set-aside.
What if I do not know my billable hours?
Estimate from last month. The earn-an-hour calculators on this site start from what you were really paid.
