Studio classes, revenue share, privates. What actually gets you to your monthly goal. Free, no signup.
Enter your monthly take-home goal first, plus your unpaid prep minutes per class and travel minutes per session, because those hours decide your real wage. Then toggle on the income streams you actually have. Studio classes take flat pay per class and classes per week. Revenue-share classes take average students per class, average dollars per student, your cut percent, and classes per week. Private sessions take your rate per session, sessions per week, and travel cost per session. The month card breaks down each stream, shows projected monthly income as the big number, and measures it against your goal. The verdict shows your effective hourly rate across class time plus prep and travel, and names the fastest fix: how many more of your best-paying stream per week closes the gap, including how many studio classes one private equals. The note is honest about the math: 4.33 weeks per month, class time counted at 60 minutes, and these are pre-tax planning estimates, not tax advice. Toggle streams off to compare scenarios.
Example only, not typical earnings. Say your goal is $3,000 a month with 30 minutes of prep per class and 40 minutes of travel per session. Studio classes at $45 each, 8 per week: $45 times 8 times 4.33, or $1,558.80. Privates at $90 a session minus $8 travel, 4 per week: $82 times 4 times 4.33, or $1,420.24. Total is $2,979.04, which is $20.96 short. Hours: studio is 8 times 4.33 times 1.5 hours, or 51.96; privates are 4 times 4.33 times about 2.17 hours, or 37.53; total 89.49 hours. Effective rate is $2,979.04 over 89.49, or about $33.29 per hour. The fastest fix is 1 more private per week, which adds $355.06 a month, and the tool notes that one private at $82 net equals about 1.8 studio classes.
Because a $45 class with 30 minutes of prep pays $30 an hour, not $45. Sequencing, playlists, and setup are real work. The effective rate line exists to stop you from pricing your life on the class-time number alone.
Flat pay is predictable; revenue share scales when the room is full and shrinks when it is not. Toggle each stream on and off to compare them at your real student counts instead of guessing.
Total projected income divided by all hours: class time plus your prep plus your travel. It is the number that tells you what teaching actually pays you per hour of your life.
The tool shows the equivalence, like one private equaling 1.8 studio classes, so you can see the trade. Privates usually pay more per hour but are harder to fill; studios give you volume and visibility.
No. These are pre-tax planning estimates for studio employees and independent teachers alike. Your tax situation depends on how you are classified, so treat the numbers as before-tax planning, not take-home promises.
