How this calculator works

How much should a freelancer set aside for taxes?

Many freelancers set aside 25–30% of each payment, but your number depends on your tax bracket and location. The kit lets you set your own percentage.

How do I budget with irregular income?

Budget from a conservative average of past income, pay yourself a fixed salary, and keep a buffer for lean months. The kit automates all three.
