"Perhaps you want to earn extra money without taking on another job."
"Perhaps you're tired of having your income tied to a fixed salary."
"Perhaps you want more control over your working hours, your clients and the kind of work you do."

You don't have to make a big decision today. Start with the numbers. Explore the possibilities. See what might be achievable under different assumptions.
INTRODUCING THE FREELANCE INCOME CALCULATOR
BY KERR COLLECTIVE
A free, interactive tool that helps you explore the numbers behind building your own freelance business.
Delivered straight to your inbox: Open it on your phone, tablet, or desktop whenever you want to test new rates.
Test multiple scenarios: Adjust hourly rates, weekly hours, client retainer retainers, and tax reserves.
No complicated spreadsheets: Clean, straightforward sliders with real-time gross and net calculations.
THIS IS A STARTING POINT, NOT A PROMISE.
Your results are illustrative scenarios, not a guarantee of earnings.
Your actual income will depend on the service you offer, the clients you attract, your pricing, demand, business expenses and the time you spend finding and serving clients.
The calculator helps you explore the financial side. It won't tell you exactly what to sell or guarantee that people will buy it.
That's the next part of the journey.
YOUR SKILLS COULD BE
