Move the set-aside amount to a separate savings account today — out of sight, ready for the tax bill.

A common rule of thumb is 25–30%. This is a savings guide, not tax advice — your real rate depends on your country, earnings and deductions.

Everything runs in your browser. No upload, no sign-up.

How it works

Enter your income

Type what you were paid — per payment, per month or per quarter.

STEP 2

Set how much to keep for taxes. 25% is a safe starting point.

STEP 3

Move it aside

See the amount to save and what you keep, then park the tax money. All private.
