Side hustle to full-time: the figures Soopaspace shows you
Written by the Soopaspace team · Updated 2 October 2026 · 3 min read
Whether and when to go full-time is your decision, and Soopaspace does not advise on it. What it does, on the paid plan, is keep your business figures in one place as you go: what came in, what is owed, what you spent, what is booked ahead, and how close you are to an income goal you set.
Soopaspace does not give legal, tax or financial advice. This page describes what the product does.
The short version
- Finance shows income, what is owed and what you kept after costs
- Booked ahead shows the money already in your diary
- You can set an income goal and track it
- You choose the hours clients can book

Costs
Expenses you log, and business trips logged as mileage, sit alongside your income, so Finance can show what you kept after costs.
What is booked ahead
The Booked ahead card in Finance shows the money from bookings already in your diary.
An income goal
In Finance, Set an income goal lets you choose a figure and see how close you are to it.
Your tax year
The Tax year summary shows your income and expenses for each UK tax year, 6 April to 5 April, and downloads as a CSV.
Fitting it round other work
