Is Your Side Hustle Actually Making You Money?

Starting a side hustle in Nigeria is a great move. But it’s easy to get so caught up in the work that you lose track of the numbers. You see money coming in, but are you really making a profit after all your costs?

This simple calculator helps you find out the truth. It’s designed for Nigerian side hustlers who want a quick, clear picture of their profitability. No complicated spreadsheets, just a straight answer to the most important question: “Is this hustle worth my time?”

How It Works

It’s a really simple, two-part process:

1. Enter Your Earnings: First, put in how much you charge per sale or gig, and then how many sales you make in a month. The tool will calculate your total monthly revenue.
2. Add All Your Costs: This is the important part. Add every single monthly expense—your data subscription, transportation, marketing ads, materials, anything. Be honest!
3. See Your Real Profit: The tool instantly subtracts your total costs from your revenue to show you your net profit and profit margin.

Why This Is a Must-Use Tool for Hustlers

It’s one thing to make sales, but it’s another thing to be profitable. This tool helps you see exactly where your money is going. Maybe you’re spending too much on data, or maybe your prices are a little too low. By seeing the real numbers, you can make smarter decisions, find ways to cut costs, and turn a small side hustle into a truly profitable business.

A Few Common Questions (FAQ)

Is this calculator free to use? Yes, it’s 100% free. We want to help Nigerian entrepreneurs succeed, and that starts with knowing your numbers.

What if I have a cost that isn’t listed? No problem. You can use the “+ Add Expense” button to add as many custom cost items as you need. Every business is different, so we made the tool flexible.

What’s the difference between revenue and profit? Revenue is the total amount of money you bring in from sales. Profit is what’s left over after you’ve paid for all your expenses. Profit is the money you actually get to keep, and that’s the number that really matters.
