Disclaimer

Every figure on this site is an estimate built from what people publicly report earning. This page explains what those figures mean and what they cannot promise.

What the numbers are

Each of the 146 entries shows a monthly earnings range, a startup cost, weekly hours, and an effort level. The figures describe part-time work in the United States. They are built from what people doing the work publicly report earning, weighed against platform payout terms and common sense, and kept conservative where reports disagree. How that works is on the methodology page.

What they cannot tell you

  • What you will earn. That depends on your skills, your market, your hours, and luck. Plenty of people finish at the bottom of a range, and some finish at zero.
  • Whether the work exists near you. Demand varies by area and changes over time. An idea that pays well in one city may earn far less in another.
  • What lands in your pocket. The figures show earnings before taxes and expenses. Self-employment tax, platform fees, fuel, insurance, and equipment all come out of them.
  • Whether a figure is still current. Rates and platform terms change without notice. The footer of every page shows the date of the last full review.

None of this is advice

Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal, tax, or career advice, and nobody involved in it holds a license to give any of those. The site publishes research about kinds of work and knows nothing about your personal situation.

Before starting anything listed here, check the rules where you live. Licensing, permits, insurance, and tax treatment vary by country, state, and sometimes city. Entries note when a license is usually required, and you should still confirm the rules for your area yourself.

Your decisions are yours

You are responsible for what you do with this information. To the fullest extent the law allows, Side Hustle Index accepts no liability for losses or missed income arising from decisions made using it. The complete version of that statement is in the terms of use.

If a number looks wrong

Please tell us, especially if you do the work yourself. The contact page explains what to send.
