How it works
Thirty seconds a day. That's the whole system.
Watch your set-aside update
A live quarterly estimate on your home screen: self-employment tax, 2026 federal brackets, your state, your filing status. Deadline countdown included.
See what each gig really pays
Income minus expenses minus estimated tax: what you actually kept, per platform, plus your true hourly rate. Some gigs won't survive the math.
What's inside
A calculator that shows its work
Quarterly estimator, transparent math
Every number is tappable. See exactly how your estimate is built: 15.3% SE tax, 2026 federal brackets, standard deduction, your state layer. No black box.
net profit → SE 15.3% → federal → state
Profit per platform
DoorDash vs. Etsy vs. that retainer client. See what each one leaves in your pocket after expenses and tax, plus your effective hourly rate for each.

Correct rates applied automatically: 72.5¢/mile through Jun 30, 76¢/mile after. Saved routes for repeat trips. No battery-draining background GPS.

FAQ
Fair questions
Is this tax advice?
No. SideTally produces planning estimates so you're not guessing what to set aside. It never files anything, and it isn't a substitute for a tax professional. Every number is clearly labeled an estimate, and you can see exactly how it's computed. File the way you already do: TurboTax, an accountant, whatever works.
Do I need to link my bank account?
No, and you never will be. SideTally is manual-first by design: entries take three taps, and income from cash, Venmo, Zelle, or anywhere else counts the same. Nothing to connect, nothing to leak.
Which platforms does it work with?
Any of them. Platform tags are yours to define: DoorDash, Uber, Etsy, Upwork, a retainer client, your weekend market stall. If you can name it, you can track it.
Does it work outside the US?
Not yet. SideTally is built for US 1099 income: federal self-employment tax, 2026 federal brackets, and a state-level estimate for all 50 states. Other countries are on the long-term list, but we'd rather do one tax system well than five badly.
