The tax estimator helps you calculate your approximate tax liability based on your income, expenses, and country-specific tax rates. It prevents the nasty surprise of a big tax bill at year end.

Key components

  • Gross income — your total revenue before expenses.
  • Deductible expenses — business costs you can subtract.
  • Tax brackets — the progressive rates that apply to your net income.
  • Estimated tax — what you should set aside quarterly.
