About this tool

This microtask earnings calculator helps freelancers and workers on gig platforms estimate what they really make per hour and per month. Enter the payment per task, how many minutes each task takes and how many tasks you can do daily.

Are microtasks profitable?

Microtask platforms allow you to earn extra money, but they often mask the true hourly wage by fragmenting work into tiny, cheap pieces.

This calculator reveals your true hourly pay to help you determine if the enormous screen-time investment is actually worth it.

What is a microtask?

They are very small digital jobs requiring human intervention, such as image labeling, text categorization, or content moderation.

How much can you earn with microtasks?

It varies greatly. On global platforms like MTurk, Scale or Toloka, the average net pay usually ranges from $1 to $5 per hour, highly dependent on your geographical location.

Are microtasks worth doing full-time?

Usually not. Unless you live in a country with a heavily devalued local currency and an extremely low cost of living, it is generally better used as a transitional safety net.
