This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Finally sat down and plugged in my real numbers for 2026 and the rate it suggested was way higher than what I've been charging. Love that it factors in taxes and platform fees instead of just guessing.
Love how SideStackers factors in platform fees and taxes upfront instead of leaving you to guess what you actually take home. The sliders feel snappy and the breakdown by expense category makes the math feel less intimidating for first-time freelancers.
Would love to see a scenario comparison tool here, like side by side rates for solo vs with an LLC, or full time employee equivalent. Helped me when I was freelancing full time to see the real gap between W2 take home and 1099 gross needed.
