Example:
Goal: $3,000/month → Analysis shows need +5 hours/week writing or +1 project/month design work

Example:
Affiliate marketing: 6% commission × $8,000 monthly sales = $480/month passive income

1 Precise Income Calculation Methods

Our calculator uses industry-standard formulas for accurate income projections across different side hustle models:

Monthly Income = (Rate × Volume × Frequency) × Time Period Multiplier

Hourly Rate Formula

Monthly = Rate × Hours/Week × 4.33

Monthly = (Rate% ÷ 100) × Sales Volume
Example: 6% × $8,000 sales = $480/month
Best for: Affiliate marketing, sales roles, referrals
Tip: Track actual conversion rates for accuracy

📦 Per-Project Formula

Monthly = Project Rate × Projects/Month

Best for: Web design, writing, graphic design
Factor: Account for project completion time

📅 Monthly Fixed Calculation

Monthly = Fixed Amount × 1.0
Example: $1,200 retainer = $1,200/month
