Quarterly estimated taxes were due last week and I did the math wrong again and ended up owing way more than I set aside, and since freelance income already bounces around every month I genuinely cannot keep guessing what percentage to put away, so does anything calculate what you owe as you go instead of me doing frantic mental math every quarter

  2. I started using a simple percentage rule: set aside 25 percent the second any payment lands, so I never see the real number and panic. Still annoying, but at least it's not a surprise anymore.
