HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU

Your money, fully accounted for.

Quarter gives you one clear number on every deposit: exactly how much is safe to spend, with taxes already set aside.

Spend what you have. Reserve what you owe.

Quarter flags the tax slice on every deposit, automatically. When a great month comes in, you know exactly how much is yours to keep.

Your actual rate. Not a flat guess.

Real IRS brackets, self-employment tax, and your state rate applied to your actual income. No flat 30% over-saving at lower incomes or under-saving at higher ones.

Every deposit, already accounted for.

Your safe-to-spend updates the moment income lands. No spreadsheet to maintain, no quarterly catch-up. The number you need is always current.


Automatic on every deposit. No setup after your first connection.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. No manual math.

Connect your income

Link your business checking via Plaid or SimpleFIN. Stripe, PayPal, and Square connect via OAuth. Every deposit lands in Quarter as classified income.

Taxes reserved per deposit, automatically

The moment income lands, Quarter calculates your blended effective rate (federal plus SE tax plus state) and flags the exact amount to reserve. No manual math, no quarterly panic.

See your real safe-to-spend

Your balance minus tax reserve equals your actual safe-to-spend number. Always current. Updated per deposit. Not a guess based on some spreadsheet formula.

Rate that grows with your income

Your effective tax rate increases as you earn more. Quarter recalculates per deposit, so your reserve always matches your actual bracket, not a flat guess.
