Tool 01 / pay per task

What's your actual hourly rate?

An advertised task price is just the beginning. Factor in unpaid checking, rejection rates and fees to understand what your time could earn.

Your task assumptions

Try the sample values, then replace them with your real numbers.

Amount received for a paid task.
Reading, rework and admin.
Use 100 if every attempted task pays.
We estimate how many attempts could be needed under your assumptions.

How the calculation works

Expected net pay per attempt = task price × paid acceptance rate × (1 − fee rate). Effective hourly rate = expected net pay ÷ total time per attempt, converted to hours.

Daily attempts use your available hours and any cap. A task cap does not mean those tasks will actually be offered.

What to include

  • Time to read instructions and rubric changes.
  • Unpaid revisions, quality checks or rejected submissions.
  • Known payment and conversion fees.
  • Realistic available hours, not an idealized 24-hour workday.
