FAQ

What does this calculator include?
It combines self-employment tax (Social Security + Medicare, 15.3% on 92.35% of net profit) with federal income tax on your taxable income.
Why is my income tax lower than expected?
You can deduct half of your self-employment tax before income tax is calculated, along with the standard deduction. We apply the half-SE deduction automatically.
Is this tax advice?
No. These are estimates using 2024 US federal rules only — state and local taxes are not included. This is not tax advice; consult a professional.
