Questions
Tutoring Budget Calculator FAQ
Why does the calculator round sessions down?
A partial result does not pay for a complete lesson, so the affordable session count is rounded down to the nearest full session.
What belongs in monthly fees?
Include recurring subscriptions, membership charges, learning materials, or other predictable monthly tutoring costs.
How is the maximum hourly rate calculated?
The available budget after fees is divided by the lesson hours needed for your preferred monthly schedule.
