Your numbers
Example values are shown so you can see how it works. Replace them with your own.
- Gross monthly income$3,681
- Estimated expenses- $125

The hourly math works for quick cash, but this trades hours for dollars. It will not compound into long-term wealth on its own.
Estimates only, based on the numbers you enter. Nothing is saved to the page address. Tax figures are rough planning numbers, not filing advice.
Assumptions this calculator makes
- Income is a steady monthly average from your weekly volume.
- The tax reserve is a rough set-aside, not tax advice.
- Equipment is a monthly share you enter, not a one-time purchase.
This is an estimate, not advice
Every result here is a rough model based only on the numbers you enter. Sidequity is an informational tool and does not provide professional, tax, legal, investment, or financial advice, and it makes no income guarantees. Any tax set-aside is a planning placeholder, not a tax calculation.
For decisions that affect your money, taxes, or business, review your situation with a qualified professional. See our full disclaimer.
How to use it
- Use a real week of jobs, not your best week.
- Include travel and supplies every month.
- Compare net hourly to a simpler job before scaling up.
What this number means
Net monthly is what you can plan around. Net hourly tells you if the route is worth it.
Thin margins get worse as you add a helper or drive farther.
Common mistakes
- Skipping gas and travel between jobs.
- Ignoring equipment wear.
- Counting only paid hours on site.
Frequently asked questions
Is this guaranteed income?
No. It is an estimate from your inputs. Real weeks vary.
What tax reserve should I use?
Many people start around 20 to 30 percent of profit as a planning set-aside. Confirm with a tax professional.
Why is net hourly low?
Travel, supplies, and unpaid admin all reduce what you keep per hour.
Should I include equipment?
Yes. Spread big purchases across the months you use them.
