For freelancers, 1099 contractors, and the self-employed. Enter your income, get your next quarterly estimated tax payment — emailed to you instantly.
Who needs to pay quarterly estimated taxes?
If you're a freelancer, 1099 contractor, or sole proprietor and expect to owe $1,000+ in tax for the year, the IRS generally expects you to pay in quarterly installments instead of one lump sum in April.
What counts as self-employment income here?
Enter your gross 1099/self-employment income year-to-date — before expenses. You can add business expenses in "Refine your estimate" for a more accurate number.
How is this calculated?
We annualize your year-to-date income using the same IRS quarterly method our full app uses, then apply current federal brackets, self-employment tax, the QBI deduction, and your state's rules if applicable.
