Not tax advice. This is a rough set-aside estimate using the standard 15.3% self-employment tax rate (on 92.35% of net profit) plus your estimated income-tax rate. Your actual liability depends on your full tax situation. Always check with a qualified tax professional before filing or sending quarterly payments.
