These are estimates, not promises
Every figure this tool produces is an illustrative projection based on the numbers you enter. It is not a guarantee, a forecast, or a representation of typical results. Actual income depends on your market, your pricing, your marketing and your effort. Fee caps, filing fees and bond requirements are set by each state and change without notice — always confirm current figures with your state's commissioning authority.
How to read this number honestly
The calculator assumes fifty working weeks and gross revenue — before mileage, printing, supplies, insurance and self-employment tax. Take a meaningful bite out of the annual figure before you treat it as income.
The more important thing it shows is which line is doing the work. Drag general notarizations to fifty a week and watch how little the annual number moves. Then add two loan signings. That contrast is the entire argument for training, and it is why almost nobody builds a living on general notary work alone.
Why general notarizations can't carry a business
Every state caps what you may charge for the notarial act itself — commonly $5 to $15 per signature. That cap is statutory and you cannot exceed it. Check yours on the notary fees by state tool.
What is not capped in most states is travel, convenience, printing, after-hours and the fee for a full loan signing appointment. That is the entire reason two notaries with identical commissions earn wildly different amounts.
The appointments number matters more than the income number
Scroll back to "appointments to deliver this". Any income projection is only real if that number is achievable in your market with the marketing you are actually going to do. Twelve appointments a week in a mid-sized city is realistic for a notary with a ranked Google Business Profile and a few roster placements. Thirty is a different business.
Turn the projection into appointments
