How this works and common questions

About this tool

Average day divides the earnings you type by the days you type. The hours method divides earnings by hours worked, then multiplies by the hours in a regular day you type. A simple estimate, not advice. Nothing you type leaves this device.

How it works

The days method divides recent earnings by the days you type and rounds half up to the cent. 2000.00 over 10 days is 200.00. 1530.00 over 9 days is 170.00. The hours method divides earnings by hours worked, then multiplies by the hours in a regular day. 1000.00 over 37.5 hours, times a 7.5 hour day, is 200.00.

Rules

You choose the method and type every figure. This page does not decide which method applies. Verify with the official source. A simple estimate, not advice.
