About this calculator

Freelancers, contractors, and 1099 workers pay both the employee and employer halves of Social Security and Medicare taxes โ€” that's 15.3% of net self-employment income. Our self-employment tax calculator handles it all: it computes your SE tax, applies the 92.35% adjustment, respects the Social Security wage base ($168,600 in 2026), and shows the deductible portion you can claim on your 1040. It also estimates your quarterly estimated tax payments so you don't get hit with an IRS penalty. Perfect for Uber/Lyft drivers, Etsy sellers, consultants, real estate agents, and anyone earning 1099 income. Includes both federal income tax and self-employment tax for a true all-in number.
