Hourly Earnings Calculator
See what you really pay yourself per hour once design, packing and admin time are counted.
Who it's for: Solo makers and store owners deciding whether to raise prices, outsource or hire a virtual assistant.
How to use it
- Enter your monthly gross profit.
- Enter weekly hours for design, packing and shipping, and admin.
- Read hours per month and your effective hourly rate.
Assumptions
Monthly hours = weekly hours × 4.33 (52 weeks ÷ 12 months). Hourly earnings = monthly profit ÷ monthly hours. Taxes and unpaid time such as marketing are not included unless you add them. Defaults are examples.
Results are estimates for planning, not tax, legal or financial advice. All figures are editable.
