Estimate your quarterly and annual tax obligations as a small business owner — free, no signup, no CPA appointment needed for a quick answer. Tax surprises are the leading cause of cash crunches for small businesses, and the fix is knowing what you owe before it's due. Our tax dashboard takes your income, deductions, and filing status, then estimates your federal tax, self-employment tax, and quarterly payment amounts. Built for sole proprietors, freelancers, single-member LLCs, and S-corp owners who need a clear picture of their tax burden without logging into complicated accounting software. This isn't a replacement for your accountant — it's the tool you use between CPA meetings to stay on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep my tax estimate accurate through the year?
A free Holdings account tracks income and deductions in real time, so your estimated tax reflects what has actually happened rather than a point-in-time guess.
How do I estimate my quarterly taxes?
Take your expected annual income, subtract deductions, calculate the tax using current rates, then divide by four. Our dashboard does this automatically and shows you the amount and due dates for each quarter.
What happens if I don't pay quarterly taxes?
The IRS charges an underpayment penalty if you owe more than $1,000 at filing time and haven't paid enough through quarterly estimates. The penalty is essentially interest on what you should have paid each quarter.
Do I have to pay self-employment tax?
If you're a sole proprietor, freelancer, or single-member LLC and your net self-employment income is $400 or more, yes. The SE tax is 15.3% (12.4% Social Security + 2.9% Medicare) on top of your income tax.
Can I reduce my self-employment tax?
You can deduct the employer-equivalent portion (half) of SE tax on your income tax return. Beyond that, contributing to a SEP-IRA or Solo 401(k) reduces taxable income. Forming an S-corp can also reduce SE tax if your income justifies it.
