Why it matters
Gig economy workers and side-hustlers often conflate gross top-line payouts with real income. Failing to account for fuel, software subscriptions, and self-employment tax obligations leads to painful surprise tax bills at year-end. Real-time net tracking ensures every dollar is accounted for before spending.
When to use it
Update after finishing delivery routes, invoicing freelance clients, paying for project supplies, or preparing quarterly estimated tax filings.
Good to know
All calculations run client-side in your browser and automatically persist in local storage. No financial accounts, bank logins, or tax identifiers are ever requested or stored remotely.
Common questions
How much should I set aside for gig worker taxes?
Most accountants recommend setting aside 20% to 30% of your net profits (gross income minus deductible expenses) into a separate high-yield savings account to cover self-employment and income taxes.
What expenses are tax-deductible for side hustles?
Common deductible expenses include mileage/fuel for deliveries, software subscriptions (design, accounting, web hosting), client equipment, transaction fees, and marketing costs directly incurred to generate income.
