Multiply 1099 income by an effective tax rate to estimate tax and net after tax.
Overview
1099 income usually has no employer withholding, so contractors must set aside money for taxes themselves.
Enter 1099 income and an effective tax rate that blends income tax, SE tax, and state if you wish. The tool returns estimated tax and net after tax.
Effective rate is a planning knob—not a substitute for bracket calculations or deductions.
Steps
Gross contractor or freelance receipts you are modeling.
Blended percent you expect to owe.
Review estimated tax and net after tax.
Lower income to net profit if you prefer.
Move the tax estimate into a savings bucket.
Math
estimatedTax = income1099 × (effectiveRate / 100)
Tax estimate is income times your chosen effective rate; net is income minus tax.
