The only 4 numbers a freelancer must know every week

October 4, 2026

Your money position, in 4 numbers

Most freelancers guess. Open these four numbers every Friday and you stop guessing:

1. Client money owed to you. Every invoice you sent and its due date. If you do not track it, late payment finds you, not the other way around.

2. Tax set-aside. Roughly 25-30 percent of every payment belongs to the tax authority, not to you. Move it aside the day money arrives.

3. Runway. Cash on hand divided by your average monthly spend. Under 3 months means sell, not spend.

4. Platform fees and payouts. Marketplaces take 6-20 percent before you see a cent. Price with the fee in mind, not after.

We built Excel tools around exactly these numbers:
