About 1099Freelancer

I built 1099Freelancer because every freelancer tax calculator I could find was either gated behind a sign-up, hidden inside a tax-prep funnel, or hadn't been updated since 2022. I do a fair amount of contract work myself, and every January I'd go through the same painful exercise — pulling up the IRS quarterly tables, scribbling numbers in a notes app, second-guessing whether I had the SE deduction right.

This site is the version of that I wanted to exist. Every calculator uses the current 2026 IRS tax brackets, the 15.3% self-employment tax, and the actual state income tax tables (or no state tax, for the lucky nine). All math happens in your browser — your income numbers never touch a server. I update the brackets when the IRS publishes them each January.

A clear caveat: I'm a developer, not a CPA. These calculators are estimates for planning purposes — quarterly check-ins, "can I afford to take this contract" math, that kind of thing. For your actual return, talk to a tax professional. If you spot a bug or an out-of-date number, email me.
