2026 Freelancer Tax Set-Aside Study — 5 facts
Modeled educational estimates from an original PiggyMath grid (not a survey). Full write-up + CSV: /freelancer-tax-set-aside-study-2026/.
- Across 8,721 scenarios (income × Single/MFJ/HoH × 50 states + DC), the median modeled set-aside was 26% of net profit (mean 25.9%).
- A flat “set aside 30%” rule overshoots in 81.7% of those scenarios.
- At $100,000 net profit (Single), modeled totals ranged from Alaska $22,365 (22.4%) to Oregon $30,177 (30.2%) — a $7,812 state-driven gap.
- At $100,000 in a no-income-tax state (TX): 22.4% Single · 19.5% MFJ · 20.4% HoH.
- §199A QBI cut the modeled federal-only set-aside by up to 4.3 percentage points (Single, TX, near $235k profit) before the wage-limit phase-in (study assumes $0 W-2 wages).

Boilerplate (copy/paste)
PiggyMath (piggymath.com) publishes free US financial calculators for freelancers and the self-employed. Tools run entirely in the browser, use current IRS and SSA figures, and are independently dual-checked before publication. PiggyMath helps people plan and set aside for taxes; it does not e-file returns or provide licensed tax advice.
