Roles / Calculator

Contract earnings estimator

A hypothetical calculation from the numbers you enter. It is not a promise of work or earnings. Most of the difference between a headline rate and what you take home is how much of your time has paid work in it.

Slow assumes 60% of your expected paid hours, fast assumes 125%. The rate used for tasks is the fee, less unpaid tasks, divided by the time one task takes.

How to use it

Start with the rate or task fee from the listing. Then be honest about the hours: most of the gap between a headline rate and real earnings comes from the share of your time that has paid work in it, and from unpaid assessments and onboarding.

For per-task roles, enter the minutes one task takes you, not the platform's best case. A slow first few tasks are normal. The guide to hourly and per-task pay has worked examples.
