Self Employment Tax Calculator
Small business owners, contractors, freelancers, gig workers and others whose net profit is greater than $400 are required to pay self-employment tax. Self-employed workers are taxed at 15.3% of the net profit. This percentage is a combination of Social Security and Medicare tax.
Use this calculator to estimate your self-employment taxes. Normally these taxes are withheld by your employer. However, if you are self-employed, operate a farm or are a church employee you may owe self-employment taxes. Please note that the self-employment tax is 12.4% for the FICA portion and 2.9% for Medicare.
