How the Freelancer Earnings Planner Works
The Zinn Hub Freelancer Earnings Planner is a free interactive tool designed to help you forecast your take-home income as a freelancer. Unlike basic calculators that only show commission rates, this planner factors in your service category, sales volume, membership tier and actual payment processing fees from Stripe, PayPal and cryptocurrency.
You can model multiple service lines simultaneously — perfect if you sell SEO services alongside content writing or link building. The planner aggregates everything into a single dashboard showing your projected monthly and annual earnings, with smart insights on how to maximise your income.
Our smart insights engine analyses your configuration and suggests actionable optimisations. It will tell you if switching payment methods could save you money, if upgrading your membership tier would pay for itself, and exactly what the break-even point is. The growth projections model three scenarios — steady, 10% monthly growth, and 20% monthly scaling — so you can see where your freelance business could be in 12 months.

Understanding Payment Processing Fees
Platform commission is only part of the picture. Payment processing fees vary significantly depending on which method your clients use to pay. Zinn Hub supports three payment methods, each with different fee structures and payout speeds.
Stripe charges 1.5% + 20p per transaction for UK cards and 2.9% + 30¢ for US cards. Payouts are instant to your connected Stripe account. PayPal charges 2.99% + 30p per transaction with instant payouts. Cryptocurrency via NOWPayments charges just 0.5% with no fixed per-transaction fee — making it the cheapest option, especially for larger orders where the fixed fee becomes proportionally smaller.
The planner lets you split your expected sales across all three methods, so you can see exactly how your payment method mix affects your bottom line. For most freelancers, increasing the proportion of crypto payments can save hundreds per year in processing fees alone.
