If you’ve watched the video next to this, you already know what this page is about. If not, I recommend watching it.
In short, this calculator is meant to give you a general idea of whether teaching online on your own is financially viable.
It’ll help you check whether the prices you have in mind can generate the income you need — or calculate how much you need to charge per class to reach your financial goal.
This calculator is designed only for online classes. If you also offer things like recorded courses, books, materials, or anything else, you'd need to make additional calculations.

Write down how much you want to save
