How this is calculated

Self-employed individuals pay both the employee AND employer portions of Social Security and Medicare โ€” 15.3% on net earnings up to the Social Security wage base ($168,600 in 2024). You can deduct half of SE tax from your income. This calculator estimates your quarterly payment so you're never hit with a surprise bill in April.
