How this estimate works

The tool subtracts business expenses from revenue, applies self-employment tax to 92.35% of net profit, respects the 2026 Social Security wage base, and applies Additional Medicare tax when applicable. It then estimates federal income tax using 2026 brackets and the standard deduction. The federal QBI deduction, tax credits and city tax are not included.

Ohio state tax note

The 1099 mode assumes net profit is qualifying Ohio business income. It applies the Ohio Business Income Deduction of up to $250,000 for most filers or $125,000 for married filing separately, then taxes qualifying excess at 3%. Eligibility depends on your facts, so confirm the classification before relying on the result.

Federal payroll tax note

Federal income tax withholding follows IRS bracket tables for your filing status. Employees also pay Social Security (6.2% up to the wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, plus additional Medicare above thresholds). Self-employed 1099 income uses different SE tax rules.

Ohio local income tax note

Many Ohio cities and municipalities levy local income tax, often between 1% and 2.5%. Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and others may apply separate city tax depending on where you live or work. This calculator does not include local city tax.
