SetAsideTracker: Gig Taxes

Just started driving for Uber or DoorDash? Delivering for Amazon Flex, Spark, or Instacart? Nobody withholds taxes from your gig income — so SetAsideTracker tells you exactly how much to set aside from every dollar you earn. No more surprise tax bill, no spreadsheets, no guesswork.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I SAVE FOR TAXES?
That's the whole question, and most gig apps don't answer it. SetAsideTracker estimates your self-employment tax, federal income tax, and state (plus local, where it applies) income tax in real time as you log earnings — so you always know what's really yours to spend, and what to set aside for the IRS.

Also gig on the side of a W2 job? Enter your pay stub and SetAsideTracker subtracts what your employer already withholds — your set-aside number only covers what you actually owe on your gig income.

WHAT YOU GET FREE — the full calculator, never paywalled
• Log earnings from any platform and watch your "set aside for taxes" number update instantly
• A real self-employment + federal + state + local tax estimate, not a rough rule of thumb
• "Show your math" — tap any line to see exactly how it was calculated, in plain English
• A "what if I earned more?" simulator — see how one more shift changes your set-aside
• Compare your platforms — which app actually pays best per hour after expenses?
• Your true effective hourly rate, after taxes and expenses
• Quarterly estimated-tax due-date reminders, plus a catch-up calculator if you've fallen behind
• Track mileage and expenses (parking, tolls, supplies, phone) for accurate deductions
• All 50 states + DC, including local/county tax where it applies (MD, NY, PA)
• Every filing status: Single, Married Filing Jointly, Head of Household, Married Filing Separately
• Export your data to CSV or create a full backup file anytime
• Your data stays on your device — encrypted, with optional Face ID / Touch ID lock
• Light and dark mode

PREMIUM — make it filing-ready and stop overpaying
Upgrade when it's time to file or optimize:
• Tax-ready PDF export — a Schedule C breakdown, your IRS mileage log, and a safe-harbor payment summary in one document you can hand to a preparer or drop into TurboTax
• IRS-compliant mileage log — record each trip's business purpose and start/end location for an audit-ready record of your miles
• Custom expense categories — track write-offs beyond the basics (health insurance, car washes, hot bags), mapped to Schedule C "Other expenses"
• On-screen expense breakdown by Schedule C line, before you ever export
• W-4 withholding optimizer — also have a W2 job? See the exact extra withholding to put on a new W-4 so your paycheck covers your gig taxes and you can skip quarterly payments entirely
• Safe-harbor calculator (Form 2210) — the minimum to pay in to dodge the IRS underpayment penalty. If your income jumped, this is often far less than your full bill
• Year-over-year insights — once you've tracked two tax years, see whether your earnings, profit, miles, and taxes are trending up

Premium is $29.99/year or $4.99/month. The full tax estimate and set-aside number are always free.

WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone earning 1099 / gig / self-employed income — your only income or a side hustle next to a W2 job — who wants a clear, real-time answer to "how much should I actually be setting aside?"

SetAsideTracker provides estimates for planning purposes only — not tax advice. Always consult a tax professional or filing software when it's time to file.

Premium is an auto-renewing subscription (Annual $29.99 / Monthly $4.99). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase; it renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings.
