Just ran the numbers to see what I make per hour (full time is 2,080 hours per year). So taking $34,200 and divide by 2,080 hours comes out to $16.71 per hour. Goal is $20 per hour next year

On an annual basis, an Full Time Employee is considered to be 2,080 hours, which is calculated as:

8 hours per day
x 5 work days per week
x 52 weeks per year
= 2,080 hours per year

Nope. Sad to say but been burn too many times. Most of images are still life thus easy to copy.

I would retire from my day time job if I did that! Great work!

Well, it was $3400 total, but I only worked seven days at around three hours a day! So yeah, no retiring just yet... although I'm currently in Cambodia where you can live pretty comfortably on $1000 a month. Maybe I should retire.

Did you actually record your hours? If I did mine it would be scary! But I don't "work" anything close to full time. That calculation is the overall hourly cost though of course a Full Time employee doesn't work that when you take out holidays, sickness, training etc.

And you can't really calculate your earnings for a day as you probably won't have earned anything for that day yet... the income you do get is based on work you've completed previously, but it's still an interstices metric nevertheless.

I've seen people posting on here who have tens of thousands of files and they sell a couple of hundred dollars a month. There's nothing wrong with earning a couple of hundreds of dollars a month, but if you've put in thousands of hours of work to get to that point.... is it really worth it?

Depends. If I'm between assignments, and I have some spare time, it's better to spend those hours on your portfolio instead of watching tv. Even if the hourly wage is low.

Not true if your watching The walking dead!

It partly depends on what you make when/if you "retire"

I'm assuming you grossed $16.71 per hour.
How much of that went into expenses such adobe cloud subscription, computer/camera/ car mantenance and gas, model pay ..
and most importantly after all the Taxes, accountant etc?

for me in 2016 - no hardware purchases, no model fees (force my family do it for free), $100 for CC2017, no car fees since 95% plus is down in my home studio and I do my own taxes via turbo tax ($70).

Hi, Okay so $100 for CC2017 ...is that a year subscription?

I assumed you were in the USA, but you might not be...

In my case, I am so I have to those self employment taxes / estimate taxes that everybody loves, plus some local service tax, occupation tax... and that takes a chunk of whatever I make....

no holidays (10 /yr) or vacation (2 wks) --> 4 wks ?

48 wks would raise your rate to $17.80, and European average time off would be even higher

many of us chose the independent route in the first place to be able to take 6+ wks off each year - so the $/hr number isn't as important as whether the actual income is enough to support a lifestyle

Not quite because the hourly rate you are paid for a full time time job normally includes holiday and the like although for many the so call "gig" economy is taking this away so you are right in that being paid an rate would need a higher compensation. An at work lifestyle is quite a lot more expensive imho travel, clothing, socialising with people you dont like ;-), buying cakes on your birthday for people you don't know......etc etc

FTE in The Netherlands is around 1650 hours, but we also probably earn less.
