Are you actually making money — or just staying busy? Enter what you charge, what each sale costs you, and how long it takes, and this calculator shows your profit per sale, your margin, and the number most side hustlers never work out: your real hourly rate. Then it projects your month: revenue, costs, profit, and how many sales you need to break even.

How it works

Enter the hours one sale takes, a realistic number of sales per month, and any fixed monthly costs like tools or ads.
See your real numbers
Instantly see your profit per sale, margin, true hourly rate, monthly profit and break-even — then download it as a PDF.
Profit per sale
$33.00 · 73% margin
That’s $22.00 for every hour of your time. At 30 sales/month you keep $910 after $80 in fixed costs.
You cover your fixed costs after 3 sales — everything after that is profit.

FAQ
How do I price a product or service?
Start from your true cost — materials, fees and the time each sale takes — then price for a profit that is genuinely worth your hours, not just above cost. This calculator shows your margin and real hourly rate as you change the price, so you can find a number that pays you properly instead of guessing.
What is my real hourly rate?
It is your profit per sale divided by the hours that sale actually takes to make and deliver. It is almost always lower than the price makes it look, and it is the fastest way to see whether a hustle is worth your time. Raising your price or cutting the time per sale both lift it immediately.
What does break-even mean here?
It is how many sales per month you need just to cover your fixed costs — tools, subscriptions, ads. Every sale after that is real profit. If your fixed costs are zero, your break-even is zero.
Are my numbers uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole calculation runs in your browser — your figures are never sent to a server. Only if you choose to email yourself the PDF do we store your email address, to send the snapshot and the free starter kit.
Is it really free?
Yes. The calculator is free with no sign-up, like every EasyLife tool that runs in your browser. You only enter an email if you want the PDF snapshot and the free Side Hustle Starter Kit.
A worked example
Priya sells handmade prints for $38. Materials, packaging and platform fees cost $11 per sale, one order takes about 1.25 hours, and her shop tools cost $45 a month. She ships around 20 orders a month.
- Profit per sale
- $27.00
- Margin
- 71%
- Real hourly rate
- $21.60
- Monthly profit after fixed costs
- $495
- Sales to cover fixed costs
- 2
Priya's shop clears its fixed costs by the second order — everything after that is real profit. And $21.60 an hour is an honest number she can compare against any job, which is exactly the comparison most side hustlers never make.

How this is calculated
- Profit per sale = price − cost per sale. Margin = profit ÷ price.
- Your real hourly rate = profit per sale ÷ the hours one sale actually takes you.
- Monthly profit = profit per sale × sales − fixed costs. Break-even = fixed costs ÷ profit per sale, rounded up.
- This counts only what you enter — taxes and payment-plan fees vary too much to guess honestly, so add them to your cost per sale if you know them.
