How do gig workers forecast unpredictable income?

Most gig workers don’t earn the same amount every week. Your income depends on shifts, tips, routes, surge pricing, and seasonal patterns. That makes traditional budgeting almost impossible.

The key is to forecast based on timing — when jobs are likely to pay out, how big they tend to be, and how your weekly bills line up with that timing.

FortuneTell shows how each gig affects your runway and which weeks will be tight unless you take more work.
