Hey everyone! I've been building PayClear, a collection of free US paycheck, salary, and tax calculators (paycheck withholding, self-employment tax, bonus tax, state-specific calculators, etc.) launching here on July 1st.
While building this, I realized how much confusion exists around simple things like:
- Why a bonus gets taxed differently than regular pay
- How self-employment tax actually works for freelancers
PayClear is a free collection of US payroll and tax calculators — paycheck withholding, salary conversions, self-employment tax, 1099 tax, bonus tax, overtime, and contractor rates, plus state-specific calculators for California, Texas, New York, and more.
