QUARTER FOR 1099 CONTRACTORS

One client still meansyou're self-employed.

No employer withholding, no W-2 safety net. Quarter reserves federal, self-employment, and state tax the moment each 1099 payment lands, so nothing catches you off guard at filing time.

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.
