🎯 Our Mission
Tax season is stressful enough without having to dig through IRS publications to figure out what you actually owe. 1099TaxEstimator was built to give independent contractors a fast, free, private way to estimate their tax bill — so you can plan ahead, set money aside, and never be surprised on April 15.
🛠️ What the Calculator Does
Enter your gross 1099 income, deductible expenses, filing status, and state. The calculator instantly computes:
- Self-employment tax (15.3% Social Security + Medicare)
- Federal income tax using 2026 progressive brackets
- State income tax for all 50 states
- Your quarterly estimated payment amount
- Annual and monthly take-home pay
- Your effective and marginal tax rates
🔒 Privacy First
All calculations happen entirely in your browser. We never transmit, store, or sell any income information you enter. There is no account, no email required, and no cookies tracking your financial data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
⚠️ Disclaimer
1099TaxEstimator is a planning tool — not a substitute for professional tax advice. Tax laws change, individual situations vary, and this calculator does not account for all deductions and credits (such as QBI, retirement contributions, or dependent care). Always consult a licensed CPA or tax professional before filing.
