pick your gig.
enter your numbers.
see the truth.
30 of the biggest gig platforms. each page is hand-written for that platform's specific fees, forms, and deductions.
gross income, miles, expenses, state. takes 30 seconds. nothing leaves your browser.
self-employment tax, federal, state, and quarterly estimates — based on 2026 irs rules and your actual numbers.
30 platforms. one honest calculator each.
83 million americans do gig work. their platforms show them gross. their bank account shows them less. the irs explains neither.
payse is the calculator that sits in between. no signup, no app, no upsell to a tax prep service. just the math, written honestly, for one platform at a time.
- 01mileage rate up to 72.5¢/mi. +2.5¢ over 2025. log every mile.
- 021099-K threshold back to $20k + 200 txns. the obbba reset undid the $600 rule. but you still owe tax.
- 031099-NEC threshold rose to $2,000. up from $600. same income, fewer forms.
- 04tax on tips: the obbba "no tax on tips" rules are narrow. read carefully — they don't make 1099 gig tips tax-free.
the basics, plainly.
is this actually free?+
yes. no signup, no email, no upsell. eventually we'll have ads on some pages — that's how this stays free. the calculator and content are always free.
do you save my numbers?+
no. everything runs in your browser. nothing leaves your device. close the tab and it's gone.
is this tax advice?+
no. this is a planning estimator. for an actual return — especially if you have multi-state issues, qbi questions, or non-standard income — pay a cpa.
why are some platforms missing?+
we picked 30 with real audience size and unique tax mechanics. if your platform isn't here, the math is usually close to one we cover (e.g., gopuff ≈ doordash, getaround ≈ turo).
