Why we built this

Most "self-employment tax calculators" on the internet are buried inside lead-gen funnels, full of popups, or simply wrong about the deductible half of SE tax. We built this site because we couldn't find a clean, fast, accurate tool for the 50 million Americans who earn 1099 income. Every calculator here is free, has no account, and shows the full math behind the result so you can double-check it yourself.

We are not accountants and nothing on this site is tax advice — it is a calculator, not a CPA. For your specific situation, especially anything above $50k of net self-employment income, talk to a credentialed tax professional. Our calculators are reviewed by a licensed CPA and updated each year when the IRS publishes new thresholds.
