Frequently asked questions

When are quarterly taxes due?

Federal estimated taxes are generally due April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15. Missing them can trigger IRS underpayment penalties, even if you pay in full by April.

How much should I set aside for taxes as a 1099 worker?

Many gig workers set aside 25–30% of net income, but it depends on your bracket, deductions, and other income. This calculator gives a more tailored estimate from your numbers — it’s still an estimate, not advice.

Does this include self-employment tax?

Yes. The estimate combines federal income tax (after the standard deduction and the deductible half of SE tax) with the 15.3% self-employment tax, then splits the total into four payments.
