Gig Income Tax Burden Calculator
Enter your 1099 income, business miles, home office, and state to see your full tax burden — SE tax, federal, state, deductions, and quarterly payments.
Why gig taxes hit harder: As a 1099 worker you pay both the employee AND employer share of Social Security and Medicare — that's 15.3% before federal income tax even starts. The good news: mileage, home office, and business expenses can significantly reduce what you owe.
