Show IH: See how much you can make with your side hustle

Side Hustle Calculator

Hi IH,

Been working on a series of calculators to help people take control of their finances. Just launched a new one that I think fits well within the IH community. It calculates how much you can make from a side project/hustle and gives you insights on how long it can take you to reach some milestones.

Would love any feedback/thoughts on how this could get better or more useful!

    Hey Austin

    Nice! I like it. I didn't realize the yearly figure I was looking at with current MRR, felt good, hah :)

    1. 1

      hey @ashfame thanks for the kind words. Is there anything that would be more interesting for you to see? any extra insights?

      I want the differentiator of these to be getting some insights or possibly even motivation to grow.

      Thanks for checking it out!

      1. 1

        Maybe a take on how long it will take or ways to reach a certain MRR, when selling multiple plans/products?

    Nice work - I have a couple of thoughts for improvement.

    I've got a product that is extremely seasonal. I would like to be able to say 'these x months account for 90% of sales with this product'.

    I would be interested in adding multiple income streams to represent multiple offerings or give a direct comparison between two prospective opportunities.

    I would like to be able to tweak the numbers more (change the growth rate to a custom amount, things like that)

    1. 1

      I really like the idea of comparison, especially for side projects. I have X that does $Y per month vs A that does $B per month.

      When you say change growth rate, do you mean being able to tweak the example growth rates (currently set at like 5 and 10%) to something different?

      1. 1

        Yes on the growth rate change, but also the other inputs. I would like to see how different values for growth rates, prices, or costs would change the end results.

    HI, nice product, it will be fine to see a comparison between famous company or side projects from IH, and gets some tips.

    1. 1

      ooo I like that idea. It would be cool to maybe do "case studies" of startups/bootstrapped companies.

  4. 1

    It looks good, I like it. One small UI issue on iPhone Safari the main page, the It Costs Me number is shifted and I can only see part of the number

    1. 1

      hey thanks for letting me know. I have been having some mobile responsive issues that I need to fix. Putting it on the list!

      1. 2

        Message me when you patch it and I can retest for you

        1. 1

          hey there, just pushed an update. would love to see if it's working better for you now.

          1. 1

            The numbers look great now. However the white space on left margin for words is gone in same box as numbers

    1. 1

      hey, I don't think the site is down? I just went and clicked through and things seemed to be working for me. Are you getting an error?

      If so, could you send it to me so I can look into it?

      1. 1

        Hi Austin,

        Sorry, I think some issue from my end. It works fine now.

        Thanks,
