Freelancer Tax Tracker Spreadsheet – Quarterly Tax Set-Aside – Google Sheets & Excel
Never be surprised by a tax bill again. This Freelancer Tax Set-Aside & Quarterly Estimate Tracker tells you how much to save from every payment and what each quarterly payment should be — using the rates YOU enter, so it works in any country.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Most tax trackers are hard-coded to one country's rules and go out of date every year. This one is generic: you enter your own flat rates or your own bracket table (up to 6 bands), allowance and social/self-employment rate, plus your own quarter dates and due dates. Update it yourself any year.
WHAT'S INSIDE (7 tabs)
• Start Here – quick instructions
• Dashboard – income, deductible expenses, profit, estimated tax, effective rate, set-aside vs transferred, whether your tax savings cover what's still owed, next due date & amount, 2 charts
• Settings – Flat or Brackets method, rates, allowance, safety buffer, set-aside %, suggested set-aside % from your data, quarter and due dates
