ProfitLab is an independent platform. We keep our core calculators accessible through advertising support, which allows us to maintain quality and accuracy. As we grow, we may introduce premium features for users who want advanced functionality - but our foundational tools will always remain available.

Why Trust ProfitLab?

Our calculators are built by people who understand the gig economy. We've researched platform fee structures, IRS guidelines, and real-world expenses to create tools that give you accurate, actionable insights. We're transparent about our calculations and continuously improve based on user feedback.
