How it works
The Side Hustle Income Tracker helps you assess your additional income from various side activities, allowing you to understand your financial situation better. To calculate your gross side income, simply sum up all your earnings from different sources. For example, if you earn $2,000 from freelancing, $1,500 from consulting, and $800 from passive income, your gross side income would be $4,300. Next, deduct any expenses incurred, such as the $500 you spent on materials or marketing. This gives you a net side income of $3,800. To find your effective hourly rate, divide your net income by the total hours worked on your side hustle, which in this case is 40 hours. Thus, your effective hourly rate would be $95 ($3,800 / 40 hours). Finally, to annualize your side income, multiply your net side income by the number of weeks you plan to work on your side hustle in a year, giving you a clearer picture of your potential yearly earnings.
