Kontora – Self-hosted finance dashboard for freelancers in Germany
German tax calculations with self-hosting when QuickBooks ignores Germany.

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.

German tax calculations with self-hosting when QuickBooks ignores Germany.
Free AI tax filing that reads documents instead of TurboTax's 200-question interview.
Basic calculator when spreadsheets already handle this calculation freely.
Tax filing via Claude beats TurboTax on time, but it's a one-off demo, not a product.
Browser-only LLC vs S-Corp calculator with NY/NYC tax modeling built in.
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).
