Enter what you have earned and spent this quarter. You will get an estimate of what to put away before the deadline.
Free, no signup, and I do not keep what you type — everything below is calculated right in your browser.
Everything you were paid for self-employed work — client fees, brand deals, platform payouts, product sales. Before expenses.
What you spent to do the work: software, equipment, travel, fees, supplies. Not personal spending, and not your own tax payments.
Used to estimate state tax. Exact for flat-rate and no-income-tax states, and a rough guide everywhere with graduated brackets.
S-corp estimated taxes work differently (they involve a salary component, not just profit × rate) — this quick calculator isn't built for that yet. Steady can walk you through it precisely.
If your employer already withholds tax, some of what you owe may be covered. This is the single most common reason people over- or under-set-aside.
Set aside about
$0
That is roughly 0% of your profit of $0, covering self-employment tax, federal income tax and estimated state tax.
You noted you also have a W-2 job. Some of what's shown here may already be covered by your employer's withholding — check your most recent pay stub's year-to-date federal withholding before setting this whole amount aside.

This is an estimate, not tax advice. It uses flat rates and does not account for deductions, credits, dependents, retirement contributions, prior-year safe harbors, or anything else specific to your situation. Confirm what you actually owe with a licensed tax professional before making a payment.
