How it works

Side hustles typically involve 10-20 hours per week outside your main job. This calculator estimates your potential income based on hours invested, hourly rate, and business expenses. Remember to set aside 25-30% for self-employment taxes on side income — this is often the biggest surprise for new side hustlers.

FAQ

Do I need to pay taxes on side hustle income?

Yes. If you earn $400+ in self-employment income, you must file and pay self-employment tax (15.3% for Social Security + Medicare) plus income tax. Set aside 25-30% of earnings.
