Work backwards from the income you need to the rate you must charge per teaching hour — counting the preparation, correction and parent messages that no one pays for directly.
Runs entirely in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere. Indicative arithmetic, not financial advice.
The common method is guessing a market rate and hoping the month adds up, and it fails because a teaching hour is not an hour of work. Behind 25 taught hours sits preparation, correction, doubt messages and scheduling that can add half again. Pricing the taught hour without the shadow work is why a full calendar can still produce a thin month; this calculator makes the shadow work a number instead of a feeling.
The required rate is what you must charge per teaching hour to hit the target. The true earning per worked hour is the same income spread across everything the work actually takes, and it is the number to compare against any salaried alternative. If the required rate is above what your market bears, the levers are group size, overhead discipline and mix: one batch of five at a lower per-head fee usually beats five separate one-to-one hours, in both money and energy.
Once the hourly economics are clear, package them: a monthly fee per student is your hourly rate times monthly hours divided by group size, rounded to something a parent can remember, with the instalment and late-fee rules from our fee-structure guide attached. Tutors who publish a clean fee card negotiate less and collect faster than tutors who quote per conversation.
Most tutors spend 30 to 60 minutes preparing, correcting and messaging for every taught hour, so 40 to 60 percent is a fair starting range. Track one honest week and replace the guess with your number.
For home tutors, yes — it is unpaid working time that only a higher rate or tighter geography can pay for. Add it into the overhead percentage or cluster students by locality.
Divide your required hourly rate by the students who share the hour. A ₹1,200 hour taught to one student is ₹1,200; to a batch of six it is ₹200 each — which is the whole economic argument for small-group tutoring.
When the tutoring grows into batches, TutorDesk runs the fees, schedules and parent updates around your teaching.
