Indie Hacker Pricing Calculator

Reverse-engineer a sensible subscription price from your monthly target, costs, and customer assumptions.

How it works

The calculator adds your income goal and tool costs, then grosses up by your buffer percentage to arrive at a gross revenue target. Dividing by expected customers gives you the recommended monthly price. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.

  1. Enter the monthly income you need after expenses.
  2. Add your monthly tool and infrastructure costs.
  3. Estimate realistic paying customers — not sign-ups, paying ones.
  4. Set a buffer for tax, churn, and failed payments (25% is a reasonable starting point).
