Side Hustle Hourly Rate Calculator

Use this calculator to find your true hourly rate from your side hustle after expenses and taxes. Enter the period you tracked (e.g., a month) and the totals from that period.

Quick tips

  • Track every minute: small gaps add up — use a time tracker to capture real hours worked.
  • Include all costs (subscriptions, shipping, transaction fees) when calculating expenses.
  • If your net hourly rate is lower than your desired wage, raise your prices, cut expenses, or limit unpaid time.
