About This Calculator
Freelancers face a double tax burden: self-employment tax (15.3%) plus income tax. The QBI deduction (Section 199A) allows many self-employed people to deduct 20% of qualified business income, significantly reducing the effective rate. Tracking business expenses is critical — the IRS allows deductions for home office, equipment, software, and professional development.
