How to use this calculator
Type the monthly income you want, what you think one stream could bring in each month, how many months it takes you to set one up, and any streams you already have. We divide your goal by the per stream number and round up, then count the build time for the streams you still need, one at a time.
Building two at once? Halve the months box. Mixing big and small streams? Use an average.
How many passive income streams do I need?
Divide your monthly goal by what one stream brings in, then round up. Type your own numbers above to get yours.
What counts as an income stream?
Anything that brings in money after the setup work, such as digital products, affiliate links, faceless content or letting AI trade for you. Each one is a separate stream.
How long does it take to build a stream?
It depends on the stream and your time. Type your own estimate. Even 5 minutes a day adds up when you stay consistent.
Should I build streams one at a time?
Many people start with one, get it running, then add the next. If you build two at once, halve the months box to see the shorter timeline.
Does this calculator save my numbers?
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
