About Our Tax Estimator
Helping freelancers and gig workers take control of their quarterly tax obligations.
Our Mission
We built this tool because we believe every freelancer and gig worker deserves a simple, transparent, and completely free way to understand their tax obligations. Too many online calculators are outdated, require personal data, or hide behind paywalls. Our estimator uses the latest 2026 IRS tax code and runs entirely in your browser - no accounts, no data collection, no hidden costs.
How It Works
- 01Enter your income - Input your expected annual gross 1099 income using the slider or text field.
- 02Select your filing status - Choose Single, Married Filing Jointly, or Head of Household to apply the correct standard deduction and tax brackets.
- 03Pick your state - Select your state of residence for an estimated state tax calculation.
- 04Get your breakdown - Instantly see your SE tax, federal tax, state tax, quarterly payments, and whether you're at risk for underpayment penalties.
Your Privacy, Guaranteed
This tool processes everything locally in your browser. Your income, filing status, and state selection are never transmitted to any server, stored in any database, or shared with any third party. There are no cookies tracking your calculations, no analytics on your financial data, and no sign-up required. When you close the tab, the data is gone.
