About pay rate for teaching ESL online

As far as accepting PhP50 an hour for teaching ESL online, I understand that PhP50 is better than zero; but is it really PhP50/hour?

Let's say you get a full 10 hours a day, that makes PhP500/day. Again, let's say you work 6 days a week, that brings you to PhP3,000 a week with 4 weeks a month. You get PhP12,000.

PhP12,000 is NOT your take home pay.

You need a working computer. (https://ph.priceprice.com/laptops/)

Now, add your power bill, your food and your other expenses (headset, mouse, etc.). You need to figure in your food. You still eat right?

Let's go back to your PhP12,000/month. Is it still PhP12,000?

So, PhP50/hour does not take into account your expenses to service to these schools that underpay you. Do the Math. The truth is in the numbers.
