About us
Know your tax bill before your accountant does.
We built freelancertaxestimate.com because most freelancers discover their tax obligation the hard way — a payment lands, nobody has set money aside, and April gets expensive. That shouldn't be how it works.
What this tool is
Freelancer Tax Estimator is a free, client-side calculator for self-employed professionals. Enter your monthly income, expenses, state, and business type, and it instantly estimates self-employment tax, federal income tax, state tax, your effective rate, and what to set aside each month and each quarter. We also cover Indian freelancers with Section 44ADA presumptive taxation and the new tax regime.
What this tool isn't
This is an estimator, not a tax filing platform. It doesn't file returns, doesn't collect your data, and doesn't know every deduction, credit, or filing nuance in your specific situation. Use it to plan — then confirm with a CPA or certified accountant before you pay.
Our principles
- Free forever — no sign-up, no paywall, no personal data stored.
- Updated rates — 2026 US brackets and FY 2025-26 India slabs built in.
- Fast answers — the estimate updates live as you type, in under 10 seconds.
- Plain language — we explain the math, not just give you a number.
