    How to calculate freelance profit

    1. Add up all client income received this month.
    2. Add up every business expense — software, travel, equipment, contractors, office.
    3. Subtract expenses from income — that's your gross profit.
    4. Set aside taxes (often 25–30% for self-employed in the US).
    5. What's left is your real, take-home freelance profit.
