The Take

Nice, focused feature set — salary slider, Scotland tax bands, student loan options, pension relief and employer-cost math are all surfaced without burying the user in jargon. It doesn't invent a new category, but the tax-band visualization and advanced options (tax codes, employer NI) show care; I'd want export/print and privacy/version notes before recommending it widely.

LanceCalc – Open-source freelance platform fee calculator

Reverse fee calculation and support for tiered fee structures (including PeoplePerHour returning-client/lifetime thresholds) are practical touches you actually use when pricing gigs. It runs entirely in-browser with no data collection, which is a clear privacy win; the downside is the space is crowded and the extension needs ongoing updates as platforms change fees (withdrawal fees are explicitly missing).

TaxPal – Free tax calculator for 1099 freelancers (Q1 due April 15)

Real-time quarterly estimates plus Schedule C–style expense categories make this far more useful for freelancers than a once-a-year TurboTax run. The tiny friction: no-signup calculator, CPA-ready CSV export and year-round tracking are practical wins — I just want clarity on state taxes, QBI treatment and audit-level accuracy before trusting big numbers.
