Abstract: The informal sector plays a pivotal role in providing alternative employment opportunities, effectively absorbing a substantial workforce and curbing unemployment rates. In Denpasar City, trade emerges as a prominent domain, encompassing a significant portion of the local populace. Particularly, culinary traders constitute a dominant presence within Denpasar City's business landscape. This research strives to comprehensively analyze the combined and individual impacts of capital, working hours, business duration, and education level on the income of informal sector culinary traders in Denpasar City. Moreover, it seeks to pinpoint the most influential variable that shapes income outcomes. Employing an associative quantitative approach, the research employs purposive sampling to gather data from 100 respondents, calculated using the Slovin formula. Data collection embraces questionnaire instruments and structured interviews, while data analysis incorporates multiple linear regression tests, assessments of classical assumptions, and hypothesis testing. The outcomes divulge that: (1) capital, working hours, business duration, and education level collectively exert influence on the income of informal sector culinary traders in Denpasar City; (2) individually, capital, working hours, business duration, and education level exert positive effects on income; and (3) the variable with the most significant impact on income among informal sector culinary traders in Denpasar City is capital, as substantiated by the highest standardized coefficients beta in the regression model.
