Freelancer Tax Vault — Quarterly Estimated Tax Tracker & Deduction Log for 1099 Contractors
Every freelancer knows the feeling: it's April, and you have no idea what you owe or whether you saved enough. Quarterly estimated taxes sneak up four times a year, and missing them means penalties.This is the spreadsheet that ends the guesswork. Log your income, track every deductible expense, and the Tax Vault tells you exactly how much to set aside from each payment and what to pay by each quarterly deadline.What's inside: Income log that calculates your tax set-aside automatically on every payment Deduction log organized by category (home office, mileage, software, equipment, and more) with running totals Quarterly estimated tax calculator with all four deadlines built in (April 15, June 15, Sept 15, Jan 15) A set-aside-vs-owed tracker so you always know if you've saved enough Dashboard showing your full tax picture and next payment due Why it's different:Most "tax spreadsheets" are just expense lists. This one actually calculates your quarterly estimates from your real income and deductions, tells you the dollar amount to bank from every check, and warns you if your set-aside is falling short. Built by someone with a finance background who got tired of the April scramble.How it works: Set your tax rates once in the Setup tab (15 minutes) Log income as it comes in — set-aside is calculated for you Log deductible expenses by category as you spend Check the Quarterly Taxes tab before each deadline for the exact amount to pay Works in Excel and Google Sheets. 6 tabs, fully automated. Yellow cells are your inputs; everything else calculates.Note: This is a planning tool, not tax advice. Always confirm your specific situation with a CPA.
