The Take

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.

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).
