The profit that freelancers make varies depending on a number of factors, including their industry, experience, and location. However, freelancers can typically make a good living, and some freelancers earn very high incomes.

According to a recent survey by Upwork, the average freelance rate in the United States is $60 per hour. However, rates can vary widely depending on the industry and experience level of the freelancer. For example, freelance software developers with 5+ years of experience can command rates of $100 per hour or more.

Freelancers typically make a profit by charging their clients an hourly rate or a fixed fee for a project. Once the freelancer has completed the project, they will keep the difference between their income and their expenses as profit.
