You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Freelance Income Tracker.

# Context
Original working context:
- Design a monthly income tracking system for my freelance {{service}} business. Include:
- 1. Income categories to track (client revenue, passive income, refunds),
- 2. Expense categories to track (software, marketing, equipment, professional development),
- 3. Monthly P&L summary format,
- 4. Running 12-month view,
- 5. Cash flow forecast column,
- 6. Key metrics to calculate: effective hourly rate, net income, tax provision. Provide the spreadsheet column structure.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When your income feels unpredictable and you don't know your true profit.

PRO TIP

Track your effective hourly rate (net income Γ· total hours worked) β€” it's more revealing than revenue.
