UK side hustles: common questions
What to expect before you start one of the side hustles we cover.
Which side hustle makes the most money in the UK?
Bank switching and matched betting are usually the fastest for a few hundred pounds, because the money comes from bank and bookmaker promotions rather than hourly work. Reselling and user testing pay less per hour to begin with but keep paying once you're set up.
Do I need money to start?
Most of the guides here need nothing up front. Where a deposit, float or stake is involved — matched betting or reselling, for example — we say so clearly at the top of the guide and explain how to get it back.
Do I have to pay tax on side hustle income?
You can earn up to £1,000 a year from self-employed trading before HMRC needs to know, and bank switch bonuses, cashback and matched betting profits are generally not taxable in the UK. If you're going over the trading allowance, register for Self Assessment.
Are these guides kept up to date?
Yes. Each guide is reviewed when the offers inside it change, and the offer lists pull live from our own checked offer database rather than being typed out by hand.
