Terms of Use
By using Side Hustle Tax Calculator you agree to these terms. The short version: the tools give estimates for planning, not filing, and nothing here is professional tax advice.
Last updated: July 15, 2026
Informational purposes only
The calculators, guides, and other content on this site are provided for general informational and educational purposes. They are meant to help you understand and plan for self-employment and 1099 taxes — not to prepare or file a return. Using this site does not create any professional or advisory relationship between you and Pond Software.
Not professional tax, legal, or financial advice
We are not accountants, attorneys, or financial advisors, and nothing on this site is tax, legal, or financial advice for your specific situation. Tax outcomes depend on facts we can't see — your state, filing status, other income, credits, entity type, and more. Before acting on anything here, confirm it with a qualified CPA, enrolled agent, or the official IRS guidance at IRS.gov.
Estimates and accuracy
The numbers our tools produce are estimates. They are based on published federal tax figures — brackets, the standard deduction, the self-employment tax rate, and the Social Security wage base — for the tax year shown on each page. They generally do not account for every state tax, tax credit, phase-out, alternative entity election, or deduction beyond those stated.
We work to keep the figures current and correct, but we make no guarantee that any result is accurate, complete, or applicable to your situation. Your actual tax liability is determined by the IRS and your state tax authority based on your real, complete facts — and may differ from any estimate shown here. Always verify against an official source or a professional before filing or making a payment.
No liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pond Software is not liable for any loss, penalty, or damage arising from your use of — or reliance on — this site or its calculators. You use the tools and content at your own risk, and you are responsible for your own tax filings and payments.
External and affiliate links
This site links to third-party websites and includes affiliate links, including through the Amazon Associates Program. We don't control third-party sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices. See our affiliate disclosure and privacy policy for details.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site changes. The current version is always the one posted here, with the “last updated” date above. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
