How do estimated taxes work?

When you're self-employed, no one withholds taxes for you—so you pay them yourself, 4x a year. WorkMade makes this automatic.

If you’re self-employed, you’re expected to pay taxes as you earn—not just at year-end.

These are called estimated taxes, and they’re due:

  • April 15

  • June 15

  • September 15

  • January 15 (of the next year)

Normally, you’d have to calculate these based on last year’s income (or guess). WorkMade tracks your income in real time and saves the right amount for each payment automatically in your Tax Bucket.

When a payment is due, we send it.
No forms. No stress. No surprise bill.

You earn → we save → we pay. That’s it.
