Hi PH friends! I’m Joe, the creator of How Much To Make. I came up with the idea after seeing the same type of tweet on X over and over again breaking down how to hit your financial goals. And so I thought, "what the heck, why not build a little calculator for this?” And so I did over the last month, mostly while my daughter was napping and during the nights after my full-time job. I’m also a formula guy. So I thought, if I can turn marketing into a formula, it feels more achievable as an engineer. And so here we are! My goal for the project is for folks to use it to see exactly how to hit their financial goals. Enjoy!

💡 Bright idea
This is neat! I'm thinking, if you want to improve on it: add a way to enter custom numbers. While keeping the current default steps for quick estimates, add an advanced option. And you could also account for recurring monthly subscriptions in the product price section, as well as deducting the operational costs of running the business.

@emnificent I like that! I was trying to think from a UX perspective how that might work. One idea is to make the numbers editable and when you click in, it becomes a number input. Thoughts?

@jsjoeio That's precisely what I had in mind, but I didn't want to influence you, haha! For the recurring monthly subscription a simple checkbox should do, and for the operational cost an empty input field on init. What do you think about this?
