Plan ahead.

Quarterly tax, demystified.

A friendly estimator built for solo pros — consultants, creators, coaches, and single-owner LLCs. Federal, state, self-employment tax, and a plain-English summary you can save.

Know the number before the IRS does.

Who this is for.

Small business owners who pay their own taxes — freelancers, sole proprietors, single-owner LLCs, and single-owner S-corps. We handle both flavors: Schedule C self-employment and S-corp owner-salary + K-1 pass-through.

Not covered yet: partnerships and multi-owner LLCs — the math depends on your partnership agreement, so please work with a CPA for that.

Not tax advice

Estimates only. For anything binding, work with a CPA — especially for state nuances and multi-entity setups.

The things solo pros ask us most.

I have an S-corp — does that work here?

Yes. On the first screen, pick 'S-corp (I'm the only owner)' and we'll ask for your salary, withholding, and employer payroll taxes on top of the usual questions. Partnerships and multi-owner LLCs aren't supported yet — talk to a CPA for those.

What counts as a business expense I can write off?

Ordinary and necessary costs of running your business: software, marketing, home office, business miles, education, professional services, meals (50%), and more. The wizard shows a categorized checklist with plain-English hints.

How accurate is the state number?

It's a good ballpark. We use each state's top rate for 2025 as a flat approximation. Your actual state return uses brackets and credits we don't model.

Is this tax advice?

No — it's an educational estimator. Use the number as a directional target and confirm with a licensed CPA or Enrolled Agent before making decisions.
