It depends on where you get your clients from. If you use marketplaces like upwork your hourly rate will suffer. Especially at the beginning. From my experience you need to build a strong profile with 25+ reviews from completed jobs.
I'd stay away from these places and look at me personal network first. There might be even clients who do not consider a freelancer on a remote basis initially, but are happy to try.
Assuming a utilisation rate of 80% you need to bill 10-11.5k a month to match your current state of earnings. Let's say you want to work 40 hours a week, then your day rate should be 62,50 USD+
